Fundación Casa Rafael Pombo, Cultural center and library in La Candelaria district, Bogotá, Colombia.

The Fundación Casa Rafael Pombo, inaugurated in 1985, occupies the poet's birthplace in La Candelaria, Bogotá. Its two-story library building is painted in bright colors and decorated with characters from Pombo's children's works. Inside are reading rooms, multimedia rooms and about 4,000 volumes, with the poet's history shown in its halls.

The foundation opened in 1985 in the house where Rafael Pombo was born, in La Candelaria, Bogotá. It was created as a posthumous tribute to the Colombian children's writer, with a library to hold his literary work for young readers. The house now serves as a space for reading and educational activities.

The foundation celebrates Rafael Pombo as a beloved Colombian writer, and his literary creations appear throughout the rooms as decorative elements that come alive. Visitors can observe how characters from his stories shape the space and help children connect with the world of reading.

The building is easy to reach since it sits in the central area and is well served by public transport. You may find the space busy during school hours when groups visit for educational programs, so off-peak times offer a more relaxed experience.

The library holds about 4,000 volumes, and the two-story house is painted in bright colours and decorated with figures from Pombo's tales, among them Rinrín Renacuajo, Mirringa Mirronga and Simón el Bobito. Children are free to settle anywhere in the rooms to read.
