Gobierno del Cerrito
The Cerrito Government governed almost all the Uruguayan territory during the Great Siege of Montevideo. It was led by Manuel Oribe y Viana.
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 and Buceo.
