Includes:

Foundational Square of Fontibón

 

During pre-Columbian and colonial times, Fontibón was a strategic territory of passage and communication for the Muisca population. From the 16th century, it served as a transit point for Spaniards, facilitating the movement of mule trains, as well as the transportation of goods and travelers between Santa Fe de Bogotá and the Magdalena River.

 

Foundational Square of Usme

 

The Foundational Square of Usme, situated in the heart of this historic district of Bogotá, has been a witness to urban and social transformations since the Spanish colonization. Originally established as a gathering and commerce point, the square preserves its colonial style with a central fountain surrounded by green areas, stone benches, and buildings that blend the old and the modern. This space reflects the origins of Usme and serves as a living testament to its evolution over the centuries.

 

Foundational square of Engativá

The Foundational Square of Engativá is a historically and culturally significant site in Bogotá. Originally, this area was a Muisca settlement and served as a strategic location for Spanish colonizers who aimed to divide and marginalize the indigenous people of the Bogotá savannah. Founded by the Spaniards in 1537, the square functioned as a meeting and trading point between the local inhabitants and the colonizers. The territory was abundant in natural water sources, including streams, creeks, lagoons, and the Bogotá River, where residents would fish and swim.

Foundational square of Suba

The Foundational Square of Suba, located in the heart of this locality in Bogotá, is a place rich in history and charm. It was officially established under Spanish Crown rule in 1550 and has witnessed centuries of transformation since then. Also known as the Main Square, it lies between Carrera 90 and 91, and Calle 146C Bis and 147, serving as a gathering point for residents and visitors eager to experience local history and culture.
