Lapido Building, also known as Lapido Palace is a modernist building in Montevideo, Uruguay, located on 18 de Julio Avenue in the city centre.[1] Designed by architect Juan Aubriot and completed in 1933, it is regarded as a representative example of Uruguay’s early 20th-century architectural renewal influenced by international trends.[2] The building was designated a National Heritage Site in 1989.[3]
The fourteen-storey building housed the headquarters of the newspaper La Tribuna Popular until the 1960s.[4][5] During the civic–military dictatorship (1973–1985), clandestine opposition publications were produced there. It is currently used as a residential and office building. The ground floor contains commercial premises, including a Subway restaurant.[6]
