Villa Muñoz

Villa Muñoz - Retiro is a barrio (neighbourhood or district) of Montevideo, Uruguay, bordering Aguada and Reducto to the west, La Figurita to the north, La Comercial to the east and Cordón to the south.

The neighborhood originated at the end of the 19th century, and was populated by European immigrants throughout the first half of the 20th century, especially by Ashkenazi Jews, which led to it being known as the Jewish quarter of Montevideo. It is an important commercial shopping district, due to the existence of a large number of Jewish-owned wholesale stores.
