Palace of Justice of Colombia, Modern judicial headquarters in Bolívar Square, Bogotá, Colombia
The Palace of Justice spans a complete city block with a rectangular shape featuring white concrete facades and geometric window patterns.
The current building, constructed in 2004, replaced its predecessor that was destroyed during the M-19 guerrilla attack in November 1985.
The entrance displays a preserved plaque with words from General Francisco de Paula Santander emphasizing the connection between law and freedom.
The facility houses four major judicial institutions: the Supreme Court, Constitutional Court, Council of State, and Supreme Judicial Council.
Military forces used the label 'especiales' during the 1985 siege to identify civilians who were subsequently subjected to interrogation and disappearance.
