Casa do Americano

In the place of Acuña is the Casa do Americano, a house destined to Rural Tourism that dates from the end of the XVIII century. It was built by D. José Fernández, a renowned cook in the area who emigrated to Montevideo in search of new opportunities. After his return, he decided to invest in land and in the construction of this house, which, hence its name, became his legacy. The house combines two types of construction: one part in ashlar and the other in masonry.
