Last year reconstruction began on the citadel gate, a monument that represents what use to be a large defense system that protected the city of Montevideo. I was able to catch a glimpse of it just before they covered it up with a cloth and doomed it to Montevideo's infamously slow reconstruction process.
However, yesterday I went to lunch with one of my very good Uruguayan friends in the old city and to my surprise, after more than a year of reconstruction, you can finally see this precious monument!

So much better finished than hidden under a sheet, eh? I think it's pretty awesome!
