Liberty Building (Spanish for Edificio Libertad) is the name of one of the working places of the President of Uruguay (the Estévez Palace being the other).
It was built in the 1970s during the military government for the ministry of defense, but in 1985, president Julio María Sanguinetti decided to move the presidential office to that building.
In 2006, president Tabaré Vázquez announced that he would be moving the presidential offices to the Executive Tower and turn the Liberty Building into a hospital.
