Punta Carretas (a prime area) was so named by early settlers because there was a rock formation in the area that resembled wooden carts.
This upper-middle-class neighborhood has a popular shopping mall built inside a former prison, a racetrack, a Neo-Romanesque church, the Punta Carretas Lighthouse, and the Golf Club of Uruguay.
