La Candelaria Historical Center Activity - Bogota Travel Guide

Overview

We will explore corners that have witnessed the development of a cosmopolitan city on this tour through the La Candelaria neighborhood.
To cross the cobbled streets of downtown Bogotá is to be part of a space where architecture, art and culture are protagonists: the Congress of the Republic, the Primada Cathedral, the Palace of Justice, the Mayor's Office (Palacio Liévano) and the House of July 20 resist the passage of time in a sector full of history where the State was built.
If you are interested in pre-Columbian tradition, the Gold Museum has a collection of 25,000 pieces that will teach you the techniques of indigenous groups and traditions that marked an important historical moment. On the other hand, the Botero Museum shows us the largest collection of paintings, sculptures and other original pieces made and donated by the most recognized Colombian artist in the world: Fernando Botero.
