Uruguay was experiencing the Guerra Grande, between the two traditional parties Colorado and Blanco. Oribe sieged the city during 9 years; his headquarters were established on the Cerrito de la Victoria, at the present neighbourhood of Cerrito. Other notable posts were Villa Restauración (with tribunal and university) and Buceo (with its harbor).
