Barrios of Montevideo

The city of Montevideo, capital of Uruguay, is divided into 62 barrios (neighborhoods or districts), each with its own identity, demographic characteristics and activities appropriate to the socio-cultural level of its inhabitants.

In a more general usage of the word barrio, some people refer to the biggest large-scale residential complexes of Montevideo as barrios, although they do not appear as such in official lists.

Such are the Parque Posadas in Aires Puros, the Euskal Erría complexes in Malvin Norte and others.

Some barrios grew out of industrial areas, such as Cerro and Nuevo París.

This list and its accompanying map follow the division in barrios of the National Institute of Statistics of Uruguay.
