PLAZA DE LOS COMUNEROS

The historic heart of Zipaquirá, a place full of life. Also known as Plaza Mayor, or Plaza Gonzalez Forero, this beautiful cobblestone plaza is surrounded by colonial, neoclassical and republican houses and buildings, such as the Municipal Palace, the Government House, and the Cathedral. The square is called Plaza de los Comuneros because it was the scene of the first American revolution when about 20,000 men, led by Juan Francisco Berbeo, arrived from Socorro (Santander) to sign the capitulations.
