Lapido Building, also known as Lapido Palace, is a modernist building in Montevideo, Uruguay, located on 18 de Julio Avenue in the city centre. Designed by architect Juan Aubriot and completed in 1933, it is regarded as a representative example of Uruguay’s early 20th-century architectural renewal influenced by international trends. The building was designated a National Heritage Site in 1989.
The fourteen-storey building housed the headquarters of the newspaper La Tribuna Popular until the 1960s. During the civic–military dictatorship (1973–1985), clandestine opposition publications were produced there. It is currently used as a residential and office building. The ground floor contains commercial premises, including a Subway restaurant.
