Flavia Ramos
Former Prison
Although going shopping is not one of my favourite pastimes I went here with my family. The building has an interesting history, as it occupies the former premises of the Penitentiary of Punta Carretas, which originally opened in 1910. For decades, the prison and the nearby parish church were the only major buildings in the neighborhood. And today it is a shopping center with over 200 shops and cinemas. Like most shopping centres it was opened in the 90s'.
