                          About Public Holidays in Uruguay

                          Uruguay's Constitution Day (July 18) marks the country's first constitution, adopted in 1830, kept separate from Independence Day (August 25), which marks the 1825 declaration during a prolonged conflict with Brazil over the territory - two related but distinct founding milestones five years apart.
