Cradle of History and Colonial Culture
When you go to Tunja you seem to travel in time, from its colonial buildings, valuable artistic treasures, paintings, sculptures to ornaments, demonstrate the value and passion to take care of the past. Its Historic Center, topographically limited by two large gullies: San Francisco and San Laureano, seem to protect the contents inside.
Even so, with temples and convents still maintained by the colonial era, they are available to all who want to enjoy their view. The republican architecture, deco and modern architecture, create a complete panorama to buy the architecture of the city through time.
