The Colegio del Uruguay (nowadays the Colegio Superior del Uruguay «Justo José de Urquiza») is an Argentine educational institution, created by then Governor of Entre Ríos Justo José de Urquiza in the 28th of July 1849. It was the first in the country to be secular and free. Nowadays, it serves circa 1200 students.[1]

It is located in the city of Concepción del Uruguay, in the Uruguay Department of the Province of Entre Ríos. It possesses a historic building dating from 1851. The college was sacked in 1870 during Jordán's rebellion.[2] In 1942, it was declared a national historical monument. In 1999, for its 150th anniversary, the building was rebuilt and made into a museum, the College Historical Museum. The college is set subordinate administratively to the Autonomous University of Entre Ríos.[3]
