... Beautiful street view of La Candelaria the historic and cultural heart of Bogota with brightly coloured 17th-century colonial houses of which most have been lovingly restored... these narrow,steep cobbled streets, which seem to reach the sky have witnessed the history of the country... lined with shops selling emeralds and handicrafts lead to cultural hotspots like the Gold Museum, with pre-Columbian artifacts, and Museo Botero, showing international art in a colonial mansion... local restaurants serve dishes like ajiaco (chicken and potato soup)... even though it's a bit sad that the sticker blocks the view, I don't mind it so much... it's all part of the postcard's journey... Thanks a lot Diego! ¯\_(ă)_/¯ (also for the great selection of lovely and interesting stampsđ)
Santa Fe de BogotĂĄ is the capital of Colombia. The city was founded by the Muisca people long before the arrival of the Spanish, who established their own city there.
An important city during the colonial era, it was the seat of the Viceroy of New Granada. After independence, Bogota was the capital of first the Republic of New Granada and then Colombia.
The city has occupied a central place in Colombia's long and turbulent history.
