Monument: Los Héroes

Monumento a los Héroes is located in Bogotá, in the Caracas Avenue and 80th Street. It was made by a French artist in marble mostly. It's a monument of great importance due to the meaning that it has. There is a building that has written all over its four faces (north, south, east and west) the battles that Colombia has fought against other countries like Spain for example. In the front part there is a statue of Simón Bolívar (the liberator) riding a horse, like if he was goinf to fight every time you see it. It represents all the blood that has been spilled by Colombians through all the time that has passed, the effort and perseverance, and the need and lust of freedon that the country seemed to have for freedom.

It's very important to visit it because there you can know more about the history of the country and the city as well. There's going to be an underground museum about some of the battles and it will be amazingly interesting, go over as soon as it opens!

Casa de la Moneda

Is located in La Candelaria neighborhood, near Luis Angel Arango library and right next to Museo de Botero and Museo del Banco de La Republica. It's a museum but it's also considered a monument due to its belongings. The entrance is absolutely free for everyone and tours can be booked via internet or phone calls for groups and also individuals. 

This museum/monument has covered almost all the capitalist symbols in the country sice it started and also retells a great part of the economic story of the country. The bills and the coins have awesome stories as well. Sometimes I wonder if any other country has a museum like this where people can learn always a little more about it. 

It's one of the most important museums that are in the historic center of Bogotá and it surely make downtown visits a lot better. Hope you enjoy it!

Its architecture is
