Photo tour: La Candelaria

La Candelaria, the historical district of Bogotá founded in 1538, begins a few blocks from my apartment. It is home to a number of cultural attractions (museums, churches, the most visited public library in Latin America), the most important Colombian government buildings, multiple universities, bookstores, cheap housing, hostels, and countless cafes. The area has a bohemian feel to it and offers an interesting mix of colonial architecture and graffiti.

Not the best pictures in the world and definitely lacking shots of many important sites, but better than nothing…
