In Montevideo, a 147-year-old ‘republic’ of men preserves tradition and friendship

In the Punta Carretas neighborhood, in the heart of Uruguay’s capital, there exists a “republic” made up entirely of men. It has its own flag, anthem, currency, and a name: Parva Domus. Though fictional, it is very real. Its “territory” is a neoclassical mansion with a garden occupying a full city block—and recently, members gained access to the sea. (AP Video shot by Diego Casal)
