Capitolio Nacional de Colombia (Bogotá, Colombia)
Started in 1848 and completed in 1926, this lovely Neoclassical edifice was designed by Danish architect Thomas Reed. It is one of the symbols of the capital city on the Plaza de Bolívar.
The Bolívar Square (or Plaza de Bolívar in Spanish) is the main square of the Colombian capital Bogotá. The square, previously called Plaza Mayor until 1821 and Plaza de la Constitución, is located in the heart of the historical area of the city and hosts a statue of Simón Bolívar, sculpted in 1846 by the Italian Pietro Tenerani, which was the first public monument in the city.

Bogotá, officially Bogotá, Distrito Capital, abbreviated to Bogotá, D.C., and formerly known as Santa Fe de Bogotá, is the capital of Colombia, and one of the largest cities in the world. The city is administered as the Capital District, as well as the capital of, though not part of, the surrounding department of Cundinamarca. Bogotá is a territorial entity of the first order, with the same administrative status as the departments of Colombia. It is the political, economic, administrative, and industrial center of the country.
The city is located in the center of Colombia, on a high plateau known as the Bogotá savanna, part of the Altiplano Cundiboyacense located in the Eastern Cordillera of the Andes. Bogotá is the third-highest capital in South America and in the world after Quito and La Paz, at an average of 8,660 feet (2,640 meters) above sea level. It is a relatively cool climate that is constant through the year.
