Plaza de la Independecia
10m
Before becoming a symbol of history and freedom, this space housed the old market square. It was inaugurated in 2010 as a tribute to the independence and legacy of Antonio Nariño, whose statue stands in the center holding the book representing the Human Rights of the people.
Around the square, the flags symbolize the countries that achieved their freedom under the leadership of Simon Bolivar.
Plaza de los Comuneros
10m
This iconic colonial square is the heart of Zipaquirá and the scene of the first revolution of America, which gave it its current name. Surrounded by imposing colonial buildings such as the Diocesan Cathedral, Government House and Municipal Palace, it reflects the historical and architectural wealth of the city.
Its cobblestone streets and well-preserved architecture invite you to immerse yourself in the past, while its vibrant atmosphere keeps it a meeting point for locals and visitors.

Estacion de Zipaquira
Pass by
Built in 1926 during the presidency of General Pedro Nel Ospina, this station —known as Tres Esquinas — was a fundamental part of the Savannah Railway, boosting commerce and industry in the region. Its elegant neoclassical French design reflects the importance it had in its time of splendour, between the 1920s and 1970s. Declared a national architectural heritage, it still retains its historical essence as a witness to the development of Zipaquirá.
