La Vega, Venezuelan parish in Libertador Municipality, Caracas.
Located in central Caracas at 903 meters elevation, La Vega parish covers 12.9 square kilometers bordered by El Paraíso, Antímano, and Santa Rosalía parishes.
The settlement originated as housing for workers of Hacienda Montalbán sugar cane mill, later becoming Nuestra Señora del Rosario de Chiquinquirá de la Vega in 1813.
The Santo Cristo de La Vega Church, constructed in 1568, remains a central religious point where residents gather for Easter week processions.
The parish contains multiple educational institutions, including Universidad Católica Andrés Bello, along with sports facilities like the Teo Capriles Velodrome.
In 1907, the National Cement Factory began operations here with 50 sacks daily production, transforming into Cementos La Vega, a major Latin American producer.
