Villa Muñoz es un barrio de Montevideo, capital de Uruguay, muy cercano al centro de la ciudad. En el establecieron sus hogares una parte considerable de la inmigración judía europea del primer cuarto del siglo XX. Con el afincamiento fueron surgiendo tiendas minoristas y mayoristas que pasaron a ser seña de orgullo e identidad del barrio, por lo que gran parte de la población se refiere a la zona como el barrio de los judíos.[1]Другой контент может иметь иную лицензию.
