Presidential Palace
Description:
The quarter around the Presidential Palace is guarded slightly more seriously than the neighboring quarters: blocks are organized in places that prevent the passage of cars, and when passing along the street towards the palace, passers-by selectively check the contents of bags.
In its present form, it was built in 1908, and in 1979 was subjected to additional revisions and reconstruction.
An interesting fact - the presidential palace was built on the site of the house where Antonio Nariño was born, a prominent politician of the late XVIII - early XIX century, who played a huge role in the liberation struggle against Spain and became a harbinger of further independence of Colombia.
The president lives and works in the palace. On July 20, a colorful parade in honor of Independence Day takes place in front of the palace.
