The origins of Bogotá lie in the district of La Candelaria, an area with monumental colonial buildings, but also quiet cobble stone streets which make you forget you are in a metropolis with millions of inhabitants.
Colombians were strolling over the Plaza Bolívar, kids running around, young couples embracing and making plans for the rest of the day; they were all aware of the black clouds hanging ominously above us. On the eastern side of the square, off centre, lies the Catedral Primada or the cathedral of the city. The outline of its unmistakeable colonial architecture was being reinforced by the dark background. This is the true heart of the city, here is where it started immediately upon the arrival of the Spanish in 1538. Nowadays, the square is surrounded by modern buildings like the Court of Justice and the Senate. From here, most of La Candelaria district can be found to the east.
