- Plaza de la Independencia - Initially a market square, this area became a symbol of history and freedom. Inaugurated in 2010, it honors the independence and legacy of Antonio Nariño, whose statue stands at the center holding a book symbolizing Human Rights.
Surrounding the square, flags represent the countries that gained freedom under Simon Bolivar’s leadership.
- Plaza de los Comuneros - This iconic colonial square is the heart of Zipaquirá and the site of America’s first revolution, which gave it its current name. Encircled by grand colonial buildings like the Diocesan Cathedral, Government House, and Municipal Palace, it showcases the city’s historical and architectural richness.
Its cobblestone streets and well-preserved architecture invite exploration of the past, while its lively atmosphere makes it a gathering place for locals and visitors.

Centro Cultural Casa del Nobel Gabriel Garcia Marquez - Visit the school where Gabriel García Márquez, Nobel Prize-winning author of “One Hundred Years of Solitude” and “Love in the Time of Cholera,” studied as a boarder until his graduation in 1946.
Today, this location is the Casa del Nobel Cultural Center, a space dedicated to art and the writer’s memory. - Estacion de Zipaquira - Constructed in 1926 during General Pedro Nel Ospina’s presidency, this station—known as Tres Esquinas—was a key part of the Savannah Railway, enhancing commerce and industry in the region. Its elegant neoclassical French design reflects its significance during its peak from the 1920s to the 1970s. Declared a national architectural heritage, it continues to preserve its historical essence as a testament to Zipaquirá’s development.
