Touring La Candelaria really means getting in contact with Bogotá’s History. Bogotá is permanently growing and transforming, but always keeping its cultural and architectonic legacy. For this reason, La Candelaria is considered the historic center of Colombia, because its buildings, built in colonial or republican times of Colombian history, were witnesses of the most important events that created and shaped The Republic of Colombia. |
