The house-museum of the poet Julio Flores in 2002 was elevated to the rank of a national monument.

The house was built in the late XIX century. On April 11, 1910, Julio Flores bought the house from William. The poet lived in the house with his wife and five children, and after his death in 1934, the widow, having left to live in the city of Barranquilla, left the house to his niece Maria de Camargo Robledo to keep all the belongings of the poet.

Julio Flores was named national poet in 1923 for his contribution to Colombian literature. The museum presents personal belongings of the poet and his family, as well as original copies of his works.
