Palacio Episcopal de Bogotá, Archbishop's palace at Plaza Bolívar, Bogotá, Colombia
The Archbishop's Palace stands next to the Metropolitan Cathedral on the eastern side of Plaza Bolívar, featuring a grand entrance designed by Italian sculptor Vico Consorti.
The original building, constructed in 1793 as Casa de la Aduana, housed Viceroy Antonio José Amar y Borbón during the crucial events of July 1810.
The current palace, completed in 1958, functions as the administrative center of the Catholic Church in Colombia and represents neoclassical architectural elements.
The palace is located at Carrera 7 #10-20 in central Bogotá, adjacent to the Metropolitan Cathedral and opposite the San Bartolomé School.
The main door of the palace was created by Vico Consorti, the same sculptor who designed the Holy Door of Saint Peter's Basilica in Rome.
