Iglesia de Santa Bárbara

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.

Church with Isabelline-style architecture built in 1560 with really quite incredible wood and plaster bas-relief design all over the nave interior.

Kind of self-explanatory, but it is from here that you can absorb the colonial feeling of the city quite well.

One of the first churches to be built in Tunja, back in 1566. Moreover, it was the site of where Independence fighters who were assassinated in 1816 were buried.

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.

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.
