History of Dolores

Dolores is a city located in the department of Soriano, Uruguay.

It was founded in 1788 by the governor of Montevideo, Francisco de Paula Bucarelli, with the purpose of creating a strategic settlement in the area to protect the region from Portuguese attacks.

The city played an important role during the Great War, being the site of several battles and confrontations between the forces of the whites and the colorados.

In the year 1825 the "Treaty of Peace, Friendship and Limits" was signed in Dolores between the Empire of Brazil and the United Provinces of the Río de la Plata.

Today, Dolores is known for its colonial architecture and for its tourist attractions such as the Museum of the Revolution and the Plaza Constitución, which has a beautiful fountain and a sculpture of General José Gervasio Artigas. It is also famous for its cheese and dairy production.

To get to Dolores it can be done by road from Montevideo (220 km away) or by the Uruguay River, through a catamaran service that connects the city with Buenos Aires, Argentina.
