Description: Montevideo, URUGUAY - Parque Batlle - "La Carreta" - ART: José Belloni: Montevideo is the capital and largest city of Uruguay. According to the 2011 census, the city proper has a population of 1,319,108 (about one-third of the country's total population) in an area of 201 square kilometers (78 sq mi). Montevideo is situated on the southern coast of the country, on the northeastern bank of the Río de la Plata. Parque Batlle, formerly Parque de los Aliados (Allied Park), is a barrio (neighborhood or district) and a major public central park in Montevideo, Uruguay. It is named in honor of José Batlle y Ordóñez, President of Uruguay from 1903-1907 and 1911–1915. Parque Batlle (formerly: Parque de los Aliados; translation: "Park of the Allies") is a major public central park, located south of Avenida Italia and north of Avenue Rivera. Along with Parque Prado and Parque Rodó it is one of three large parks that dominate Montevideo. The park and surrounding area constitute one of the 62 neighborhoods (barrios) of the city. The barrio of Parque Batlle is one of seven coastal barrios, the others being Buceo, Carrasco, Malvin, Pocitos, Punta Carretas, and Punta Gorda. The barrio of Parque Battle includes four former districts: Belgrano, Italiano, Villa Dolores and Batlle Park itself and borders the neighborhoods of La Blanqueada, Tres Cruces, Pocitos and Buceo. It has a high population density and most of its households are of medium-high- or high-income. In 1934, sculptor José Belloni's "La Carreta", a bronze monument on granite base, was installed on Avenida Lorenzo Merola near Estadio Centenario. One of several statues in the park, it depicts yoked oxen pulling a loaded wagon that was designated a national monument in 1976. This Photochromatic postcard is in good condition, but there is a pinhole near the center of the card's upper border. Impresora Uruguaya. No. 427.
