House of the Founder Gonzalo Suárez Rendón
This house was built in 1540, and is said to be the only remaining house of a city founder in Latin America. It is an art and history museum. Free entrance. Partially closed on Sundays.
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.
