Bosque de la República, National monument in central Tunja, Colombia.
The Republic Forest contains stone paths, fountains, statues, a lake, and a music pavilion displaying independence battle inscriptions on its roof.
The park commemorates the independence battles of Vargas and Boyaca through the Martyrs Wall, where leaders Niño and Vasquez were executed in 1816.
The entrance gate features columns inscribed with names of Boyacá municipalities, representing regional identity and collective memory of independence.
Located at Calle 15-Carrera 11 in Tunja, the park offers public access to green spaces and recreational areas within the historical center.
A glass wall protects the original adobe structure of the Martyrs Wall, where the inscription 'Who dies for the homeland lives eternally' remains.
