Our journey begins with one of our architectural landmarks, one of our numerous churches. One of them is the Church of Perpetual Help. This was inspired by the French Gothic style, as reflected in the façade, which highlights the archivolt of the main door, the central rose window, and two tall towers which are topped by a glass and copper work – for which the temple is also known as the Church of Mirrors. Learn how this historic neighborhood became the Perpetuo Socorro Creative District, a reality for companies, entrepreneurs, groups, and people who imagine the future.

The artist Fernando Botero donated 23 sculptures and the Plaza that bears his name is his largest open-air museum. Choose your favorite sculpture and don’t miss a good photo.
