Once the capital of the independent state of Antioquia, Santa Fé now is a well-preserved colonial town where you can get a good idea of what towns looked like several centuries ago.
I visited several churches in Santa Fé de Antioquia, notably the Iglesia de Chiquinquirá, the Jesús Nazareno and the Santa Barbara, but unfortunately the cathedral was closed for reparation works. I spent some time on the main square, visiting the market stalls where I bought some typical sweets, having a rest under one of the mango trees that were choke-full of the tropical fruit - but not ready to eat yet. Plaza Mayor is where most people meet, sitting on one of the benches in the small park in the middle or near the fountain donated to the town by Medellín, the successor capital of Antioquia, or having a drink in one of the many restaurants. Founded in the mid 16th century, Santa Fé de Antioquia was the capital of Antioquia, but that title was transferred to Medellín in 1826. While the latter developed into one of the biggest cities of Colombia, Santa Fé de Antioquia has probably not developed much since the early 19th century. This now is one of its main draws. The peaceful, friendly atmosphere of Santa Fé makes this a very pleasant town to visit.
