Museo de la Independencia Casa del Florero

The Museo de la Independencia Casa del Florero, also known as the Museum of Independence, is housed in a colonial-era building that was the site of the famous 'Florero de Llorente' incident in 1810, which sparked Colombia's independence movement. Visitors can explore rooms filled with period furniture, documents, and artifacts that tell the story of the nation's struggle for autonomy. The museum offers a detailed look at the events leading up to independence and the key figures involved. Its central location in Bogotá's historic La Candelaria district makes it an easy addition to any walking tour of the city's colonial landmarks.

Un po' di storia

On July 20, 1810, a dispute over a flower vase (florero) in this building escalated into a revolt that led to the first cry for independence from Spanish rule. The house was later converted into a museum dedicated to preserving that pivotal moment.
