“Psst, did you hear the one about the school with two names?” a child whispers, pointing at the Escuela 123. Intrigued? Well, you’re right in front of it. The Escuela 123, right here on Avenida José Belloni, isn’t just any school. It’s a testament to Uruguay’s dedication to education. You see, in Uruguay, the school day is famously short – only four hours. To make the most of teachers and buildings, the same space often houses two different schools. One in the morning, one in the afternoon, each with its own name. So, while you see Escuela 123 now, later today, it might be another school entirely! Remember this clever system when you see children out and about, thinking they’re skipping class. They might just be on a different timetable!

The cornerstone rests undisturbed. It whispers tales of 1896. This is the Santuario de la Medalla Milagrosa y San Agustin.
