The Dark Castle

Anything that is left around for a while in Montevideo quickly goes to the dark side. The little old castle in Rodo park is a current example.



The lake in front has been drained. In the old times, you could rent a pedal boat and roam around. Now the place has become covered with graffiti.





Above the entrance, the original legends have been substituted by something else entirely.



The door of the Dark Castle is locked.



But if you find a hole, the original Walt Disney towers may still be seen.



I do hope that our local government will take care of this castle some day. It is staged for an Onetti novel any time now.
