Democracy Square

Democracy Square (Spanish: Plaza de la Democracia) is a road junction and public space in barrio Tres Cruces of Montevideo, Uruguay.

The work involved the creation of a circular amphitheater −alluding to the Assembly of 1813 known as the "Congress of Tres Cruces"− with stands, the installation of a water fountain and a children's playground.

[11] On May 18, 1943, a statue of Joaquín "Ansina" Lenzina made by José Belloni on a hammered gray granite base was inaugurated.

[14] The sculpture was a bronze representation of two kneeling people, hooded and with their hands tied behind their backs, and was created by the sculptor Rubens Fernández Tudurí in 1986.

Among the events are the homage to the "fallen in defense of democratic institutions" in their fight against the Tupamaros guerrillas,[16] and the campaign closing ceremony for the referendum on the law of urgent consideration of the Multicolor Coalition.
