• Plaza de la Independencia - Before becoming a symbol of history and freedom, this area served as the old market square.

Surrounding the square, flags represent the countries that gained their freedom under Simon Bolivar’s leadership.

• Plaza de los Comuneros - This iconic colonial square is the heart of Zipaquirá and the site of the first revolution in America, which gave it its current name. Encircled by grand colonial buildings such as 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 visitors to delve into the past, while its lively atmosphere makes it a gathering place for locals and tourists alike.

• Estacion de Zipaquira - Constructed in 1926 during General Pedro Nel Ospina’s presidency, this station—known as Tres Esquinas—was a crucial part of the Savannah Railway, enhancing commerce and industry in the region.
