The Casa del Fundador Gonzalo Suárez Rendón is a museum and monument in Tunja, the capital of Boyacá, Colombia. It is situated on the central square of Tunja, named Plaza Bolívar, but historically called Plaza Suárez Rendón, honouring the city founder Gonzalo Suárez Rendón, who established Tunja for the Spanish Crown on August 6, 1539. The colonial building, declared a monument in 1959 and designated as museum in 1965, is the only remaining house of a city founder in Latin America and started construction in 1540.

In a city full of churches, it's like the grand dame, sitting on the Bolivar plaza. Its construction fuses Isabelline, Renaissance, and neoclassical styles, erected between 1567 and 1598.
Kind of self-explanatory, but it is from here that you can absorb the colonial feeling of the city quite well.
This church was completed in 1620 in the Jesuit style and is particularly noteworthy for having a polychrome statue of Jesus. It is also where the International Festival of Culture takes place.
The structure is thought to have been the first convent in the principality of New Granada. It is pretty heavily decorated inside.
Church with Isabelline-style architecture built in 1560 with really quite incredible wood and plaster bas-relief design all over the nave interior.
This church was built between 1570-1640 in the Colonial-Classicist Baroque style and used to be attached to a convent, but that was demolished over the course of time.
