From one of my previous posts you might remember the Monseratte overlooking the city of Bogota (on this photo at the top of the hill). At the foot of the Montseratte is "La Candelaria" which is the oldest part of the city where the first settlers from Spain tried their luck to find "Eldorado", the rich gold mining areas. La Candelaria has a bohemian atmosphere a bit like "quartier latin" in Paris and several universities are located around this part of town. Walking around in this area gives you views like in the following photos:
This is one of the oldest public squares of town, and the next photo shows you the plaque mounted on the house central in the photo above:
Going back to the early 1500's......
Thanks Alvaro for another nice afternoon learning more about the city you grew up in !
