Executive Tower the name of the future working place of the President of Uruguay. The original project started in 1965 as a Palace of Justice, but the 1973 military coup d'etat interrupted it.

By the time the military government was over, the building was too small for the Uruguayan justice system, so the project remained halted for decades until in March 2006, president Tabaré Vázquez decided to finish the building and use it as an extension of the Estévez Palace.
