A Town That Changed Hands Nine Times

Colonia del Sacramento was founded by Portugal in 1680 directly opposite Spanish Buenos Aires, and changed hands between the two powers repeatedly over the next century. The result is a street plan that is Portuguese and a masonry tradition that is Spanish.

The clock: Colonia keeps UTC−3. The ferry to Buenos Aires takes about an hour and crosses an international border with no time change.
