Libertador Avenue, its full name being Avenida Libertador Brigadier General Juan Antonio Lavalleja, is a main avenue in Montevideo, Uruguay. Although only 1.5 kilometres (0.93 mi) long, it is an important avenue, since it joins the Palacio Legislativo in Aguada with Plaza Fabini in the Centro. It carries traffic from most parts of the city heading to the Centro and the Ciudad Vieja. Most official parades happen along this avenue. On the border between Centro and Aguada, it runs along a little square called Plaza Isabel la Católica, which is one block away from the old railway Central Station General Artigas.
