Hacienda Santa Bárbara, Shopping centre in a former colonial estate in Usaquén, Bogotá, Colombia.
Hacienda Santa Bárbara is a property in Bogotá that combines colonial-era buildings with modern retail spaces across multiple levels and both interior and exterior areas. The complex houses numerous shops, dining venues, and cultural spaces throughout its layout.
The land was assembled by Spanish landowners into large estates around Santa Fe de Bogotá; Doña Bárbara de Samudio was among its first and most important owners, and the property once ran from today's Carrera Séptima toward Puente Largo. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries it belonged to the Antioquian businessman José María Sierra (1846–1921), known as don Pepe Sierra, whose family lived in the main house. The estate was declared a National Monument of Colombia in 1985, and the shopping centre opened on 16 December 1989.
The mall takes its name from the hacienda and from Doña Bárbara de Samudio, one of its first and most important owners. The Avenida Pepe Sierra, which begins at this corner, honours José María Sierra, the Antioquian businessman (1846–1921) who later owned the estate and whose family lived in the main house.
The complex sits at the corner of Carrera Séptima and Avenida Pepe Sierra, directly opposite the Fundación Santa Fe de Bogotá hospital and the Santa Bárbara business centre. The historic casona and the modern retail block are joined, so a visit moves between the old house and the newer galleries without leaving the site. The entrance under the "HACIENDA SANTA BÁRBARA / CENTRO COMERCIAL" lettering leads through a stone-framed doorway.
The mall opened on 16 December 1989 on the grounds of the old hacienda, and the avenue that starts at its corner, Avenida Pepe Sierra, is named after José María Sierra, the Antioquian businessman (1846–1921) who once owned the estate. The historic house he used as a family residence was declared a National Monument of Colombia in 1985.
