Outside visit

Catedral De Santa Marta

Subiendo por toda la calle 19 y luego bajando por la carrera 4, llegamos a uno de los puntos más importantes del tour; Construida en 1760, es la iglesia más antigua de sur america, reconstruida en 3 ocasiones por daños y ataques piratas. Esta dividida en 2 pasillos, 1 llamado Simón Bolivar porque los restos del libertador estuvieron allí por 12 años, y luego reclamados por su hermana, para ser trasladado a su país natal Venezuela, el otro pasillo es llamado Rodrigo de Bastidas.

Outside visit

Parque San Miguel

Es un parque muy local ubicado sobre la calle 19 y la carrera 7 y 7a, cerca de este tambien esta ubicado el cementerio San Miguel, siendo este el principal de la ciudad, ubicado sobre la calle 22 entre la carrera 7 y 7a. Este último conocido por haber sido el más importante para la fecha, ya que los fallecimientos por Cólera eran demasiados, estos cuerpos ubicados al final del cementerio, construido a principios del sigo XIX, tiene una forma de trapezoide, infraestructura colonial.

Outside visit

Parque de los Novios

Este Parque solía ser un lago en el que los amores prohibidos en el tiempo de la conquista e independencia del país, venian a confirmar su amor, luego fue el primer mercado público, conocido como Plaza Vieja o la Plaza de la Carniceria; Cuando se construye el palacio de justicia, ubicado en un lado de la plaza, y la escuela principal, debido a esto, pasa a llamarse Plaza de Madrid, por último toma el nombre de plaza Santander porque la estatua de este libertador se traslada a esta plaza.
