Plaza Bolívar is the main square in the heart of La Candelaria and at the center for some of the city’s most important buildings and offices. It is named after one of Colombia’s most important historical figures, Simón Bolívar. Bolívar’s importance in the independence of Colombia from Spanish rule is seen throughout the square, the city and indeed the whole country. Around the square, you’ll see the Palace of Justice, the National Capitol building, the Cathedral of Bogotá and the Museo del 20 de Julio (Independence Day). In December, lots of people fill the square to see the bright lights and Christmas trees that fill the area to celebrate the holidays.
