Around the World Today

Uruguay stands alone on today's global holiday calendar, observing Constitution Day, known locally as Jura de la Constitución, as a nationwide public holiday. The observance marks Uruguay's constitutional founding and is the only public holiday recognized anywhere in the world today, making this a quiet, single-country entry rather than a broad, multi-nation observance.

Did You Know?

In Uruguay, Constitution Day is called Jura de la Constitución, literally the 'swearing' or 'oath' of the constitution, reflecting the formal, ceremonial act of adopting the nation's founding legal document.
