Francisco Acuña de Figueroa

Francisco Esteban Acuña de Figueroa (September 20, 1790October 6, 1862) was an Uruguayan poet.

He was born in Montevideo in 1790. Later, his father sent him to study in Buenos Aires, Argentina, but the city's invasion made him return to Montevideo, where he wrote poems while working for his father. There was no printing press in Montevideo, so none of his works were published at that time. In 1857, his poems were published in a book, and the national anthem of Uruguay appeared. He also wrote the lyrics for the national anthem of Paraguay. He died in Montevideo October 6, 1862.
