Located on 18 de Julio Avenue in central Montevideo, the fourteen-storey Lapido Building (also known as Lapido Palace) is a modernist structure designed by architect Juan Aubriot and completed in 1933. The building exemplifies Uruguay's early twentieth-century architectural renewal influenced by international trends and was designated a National Heritage Site in 1989. Originally housing the headquarters of the newspaper La Tribuna Popular until the 1960s, the building served as a venue for clandestine opposition publications during the 1973–1985 civic–military dictatorship. Today it functions as a mixed-use structure with residential and office spaces, while its ground floor accommodates commercial premises.
