Encyclopedic overview
Montevideo ( Spanish pronunciation: [monteβiˈðeo]) is a department (departamento) of Uruguay. It is by far the smallest department in area, but also by far the most populated. Its capital is the city of Montevideo, which is also the national capital. While most of the department is covered by the capital city, there are still smaller towns within its limits.
