history
The Archdiocese of Montevideo was established in 1830 as the Apostolic Vicariate . Today's archbishopric was elevated to a diocese on July 13, 1878. The newly founded diocese was territorially reduced in its diocese history. This led to the re-establishment of the dioceses of Melo and Salto on April 14, 1897 . At the same time, the diocese of Montevideo was elevated to an archbishopric. The diocese territory of the Archdiocese and the Diocese of Melo were last divided on November 15, 1955. This led to the establishment of the diocese of San José de Mayo .
