Gobierno del Cerrito
Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found.
The Cerrito Government (Spanish: Gobierno del Cerrito) governed almost all the Uruguayan territory during the Great Siege of Montevideo (1843-1851). It was led by Manuel Oribe y Viana.[1]
Uruguay was experiencing the Guerra Grande, between the two traditional parties Colorado and Blanco. Oribe sieged the city during 9 years; his headquarters were established at the present neighbourhood of Cerrito de la Victoria. Other notable posts were Villa Restauración (with tribunal and university) and Buceo (with its harbor).
