Casa del Fundador Suárez Rendón

TIME : 2016/2/19 15:03:06

One of the finest historic mansions in town, this place is the original home of the founder of Tunja. Built in the mid-16th century on the eastern side of Plaza de Bolívar, it's a fine example of a magnificent aristocratic residence from the times of the Spanish Conquest.

Its most interesting feature is the ceiling, covered with intriguing scenes that were only recently discovered when a ceiling collapsed.
