La Candelaria was founded in 1966 by a group of independent artists and intellectuals, originally from the National University of Colombia and the incipient experimental theater. His conscious objective was to contribute to the creation of the independent theater movement.

In 2000, artist Fernando Botero donated to Banco de la República a collection of 208 works of art, of which 123 are his own and 85 are by international artists. With this collection, the Banco de la República founded the Botero Museum, located in the La Candelaria neighborhood, in the historic center of Bogota. The museum is located in a colonial mansion that served as the city's Archbishopric until 1955. It was restored and adapted as a museum by the Banco de la República, following the precepts and curatorship of the master Botero himself.

The Jorge Eliécer Gaitán Theater, inaugurated in 1940 as Teatro Colombia and renamed in 1973 in memory of the former mayor, is a prominent cultural venue in Bogotá. With capacity for 1,695 spectators, located in the heart of the capital, it has established itself as a meeting point for culture and entertainment, being key in the national and international art scene.

Located in the Bolivar Square, its official name is Metropolitan Basilica of Bogota - Primatial Cathedral of Colombia. It was recognized with the honorary title of Primate of Colombia by Pope Leo XIII, through the Decree of the Consistorial Congregation of November 7, 1902. It also received the title of Basilica (May 25, 1907). It has 4 chapels:

Chapel of St. Joseph. Built in 1590, it is the oldest chapel of the Cathedral. The altar is Ionic and preserves a statue of Our Lady of Mercy.

Located in the heart of the Colombian capital, the San Carlos Palace is an architectural treasure that combines colonial elegance with the grandeur of its history. Built in the sixteenth century, this palace has witnessed important historical events and has hosted prominent figures of Colombian politics and culture.

The Bogotá Planetarium was inaugurated in 1969 and in 2008 an image projector was acquired to improve the visualization of the stars in its dome, one of the largest in Latin America. In 2011, a remodeling process began to reinforce its structure, expand its capacity and build the Space Museum, which offers five interactive rooms where visitors will learn about the structure of the universe. Another notable space is the Astroteca, a library specialized in astronomy and space sciences. Children will enjoy the Children's Room, designed with special content for them.

Inside the Colonial Museum lives the patrimonial and cultural history of Colombia from works of private collection, formed during the process of disentailment of ecclesiastical property led by Tomás Cipriano de Mosquera in 1861. As a result of this measure, numerous objects expropriated from the Church passed into private hands and were later donated or acquired by different museums. Over time, the Colonial Museum's collections have grown in both number and diversity.

The Gold Museum, as part of the Cultural Network of the Banco de la República, is committed to preserving, researching, cataloging and disseminating its valuable archaeological collections of gold, ceramics, lithic and other materials, enriching Colombia's cultural heritage. The current exhibition presents more than 400 pieces including gold, ceramics, stone, textiles and other materials from Colombia's archaeological legacy. Through experiences of enjoyment, learning and inspiration, the museum seeks to strengthen the cultural identity of Colombians.
