Cerrito, Montevideo
Cerrito, officially Cerrito de la Victoria, is a barrio (neighbourhood or district) of Montevideo, Uruguay. Most of the barrio is on a hill (cerrito is Spanish for "hill") on which is the very remarkable church named Santuario Nacional del Cerrito. This hill was the seat of the temporary government of General Oribe during his siege of Montevideo.

gollark: It's not actually very complex and I'm not massively good. I've just done it for a while.
gollark: I've made my website (static-site-generated), a really slow search engine thing, dice roller, automatic music player thing which just runs from a directory of metadata-tagged music files, a Discord bot for something, Meme Economy Autotrader, a moderately popular browser extension for automating some specific task in an online game, various random "experiments" on my website, a virus for computers in a Minecraft computer mod (and many, many other things for that), and probably other random stuff.
gollark: I do programming myself, but I really only make random projects either for personal use, mild evil, or fun. They're basically all released as open source.
gollark: Also working but very slowly, buggily, inefficiently, badly or whatever else.
gollark: In general, I mean, there's such a thing as technical debt.
