The Playa de la Agraciada is a sandbar that stretches for 13 km along the Uruguay River. It was here that the military expedition of the Treinta y Tres Orientales, led by Juan Antonio Lavalleja and Manuel Oribe, landed on April 19, 1825 to expel the Brazilians who were occupying the Eastern Province, then called Provincia Cisplatina. According to some sources, the site was named after a beautiful peasant woman nicknamed "la agraciada" (the graceful one). Since 1862, a pyramid has been erected here to commemorate the epic of the Treinta y Tres Orientales, which Blanes depicts in his work El Juramento de los Treinta y Tres Orientales.
