criteria. Cultural
The city of Colonia del Sacramento on the Plata River was founded by the Portuguese in 1680. It was disputed between the Portuguese and Spanish for more than a century, before finally being conquered by the Spanish. The WHS preserves its historical cityscape which reflects a fusion of Portuguese, Spanish, and  post-colonial architectural forms.
