About

Cerro de Montevideo is a hill overlooking the namesake capital city of Uruguay. It constitutes an isolated landform, it is part of no mountain range.

Its notable fortress on top overlooks the Bay of Montevideo, a natural harbour on the coast of the River Plate. Its lighthouse is of tantamount importance for navigation.
