HALF DAY COLONIAL CITY TOUR AND MUSEUMS

Half day visit to the city’s colonial district, starting in Bolivar Park, shaded by large trees and with four fountains the park is watched over by a statue of the great Liberator at its centre. Around the square is the Gold Museum, which exhibits a fine collection of archaeological objects dating back to the pre-Hispanic period and the Inquisition Palace, recognized for its large baroque style door. The Inquisition held its meetings here and it was also the prison and torture chamber for presumed heretics, opponents of the Catholic Church.

The visit continues to the Santo Domingo Church, the Cathedral and ends at the Terraplenes and the Museum of the City’s Fortifications.

DURATION:  Approximately four hours.
