Itinerary

Plaza Botero

24 min Admission not included

Botero Square is located in Plazuela Nutibara on Avenida Carabobo in the city's heart. It is the only outdoor space in the world with 23 statues by Maestro Fernando Botero, donated to the town in 2002. It would be an excellent excuse to develop and implement Sculpture Square, or Botero Square, as it is known in Medellin. The bronze sculptures are a living expression of the sensuality that master Botero wishes to express through volume in his work.
Museum of Antioquia

25 min Admission not included

The Museum of Antioquia is an art museum in Medellin that houses an extensive collection of works by Fernando Botero and Pedro Nel Gómez, both of whom are Medellin natives. It was the first museum in the department of Antioquia and the second in Colombia.
Catedral Basilica Metropolitana de Medellin

24 min Admission not included

It is a beautiful cathedral in the city of Medellin with a lovely facade. It is best seen from the plaza in front. Our visit was not open. But that doesn't stop us from admiring it from the outside. It is such a beautiful building.
Palacio de Bellas Artes

24 min Admission not included

This is a large old building, the Palacio de Bellas Artes, with an architectural exterior that is attractive and worth a visit inside.
