Tequendama International Center, National monument in downtown Bogotá, Colombia.

The Tequendama International Center consists of nine connected buildings with plazas and commercial walkways between Carreras 10 and 13 and Streets 26 and 28.

The construction of the complex started with the Hotel Tequendama in 1952 after demolishing military facilities, and concluded with Tequendama North Residences in 1982.

The architectural design follows rationalist principles by firms including Holabird, Root & Burgee and Cuéllar, Serrano, Gómez & Cía, using reinforced concrete, brick, and Bogotá stone.

The complex maintains continuous security through Military Police presence and private security services managed by the Military Forces Retirement Fund.

The center originated from a 1941 Colombian government purchase of former Military Cadet School grounds, leading to a transformation of Bogotá's urban landscape.
