Named in honor of the liberator of Colombia, the Bolivar square took its name since 1846 when the Colombian congress set a statue of Simon Bolivar in its center. Before that date the square was used in many ways but particularly as the principal market of the city. Today is a wide flat space rounded by public buildings (catholic and official) including the National Capitol (1847-1926; right), where the Colombian congress meets.
That's really pretty. What an interesting shot of the columns especially ad the blue light in the yellow and gold buildings.
ResponderEliminarI liked how the Bolivar's statue seems a litlle shy in its pedestal al the left.
