This last one isn't a door, but it is an entrance to the seating area of Montevideo's Estadio Centenario where Uruguay won the first Football World Cup in 1930. How good is this deco plaque celebrating that achievement.

    I've seen film of the 1930 World Cup Final at the Estadio Centenario and there was a small Deco tower at the back of one of the terracing areas. I don't suppose that's still there is it? Or is that it in the background to your photo?

      It's still there Jack and yes that's it in the background. You can see it much better in this post.
