Pretty much every Latin American capital is home to quite a few beautiful churches, and Bogota is no different. The architectural beauty of this Colombian city knows no bounds, and here are three beautiful churches that make Bogota even more breathtaking.
Primatial Cathedral of Bogotá
Plaza de Bolívar is one of Bogota’s main attractions, and it wouldn’t be the same without this beautiful cathedral. Its history is pretty interesting because Colombia was still under Spanish rule when its building commenced, but it was only completed after the country declared independence and officially opened its doors in 1823.
Salt Cathedral
Bolivia is home to some of the world’s largest salt flats, and salt-based attractions are scattered all around it. The Salt Cathedral of Zipaquirá is located in close proximity to Bogota, and it was carved in a salt mine, 200 meters underground.
The National Shrine of Our Lady of Carmen
If you’re an architecture lover visiting Bogota, this beautiful church deserves a spot on your bucket list. Located in the lively neighborhood of La Candelaria, this building is instantly recognizable thanks to its distinctive red-and-white striped façade. It was built in the Florentine Gothic Style during the early 20th century by the famed architect Giovanni Buscaglione.
