Concepción, Colonial municipality in Eastern Antioquia, Colombia.
Located 75 kilometers from Medellín, Concepción sits at an elevation of 1,832 meters in the mountainous terrain of Antioquia Department.
Founded on September 8, 1771, Concepción was initially populated by Tahamí and Carib indigenous peoples before miners from Santa Fe de Antioquia arrived.
The municipality celebrates the Guayaba Festival in June and honors its patron saint during the Immaculate Conception festivities in December.
The temperature in Concepción ranges from 14 to 25 degrees Celsius throughout the year, with significant rainfall accumulating 3,055 millimeters annually.
