Plaza Real de Tunja, Neoclassical monument in Tunja, Colombia.

The Plaza Real features seven pavilions constructed with a central dome and pyramid-shaped structures incorporating Corinthian columns and decorative elements.

The central pavilion was completed in 1919 to commemorate the centennial of the Battle of Boyacá, with additional pavilions constructed through 1939.

The Plaza Real serves as a civic center, combining architectural elements that reflect the transition from colonial to republican periods in Colombian history.

The complex contains 72 commercial establishments on the ground floor and 79 office spaces across the second and third floors.

The building's dome design draws inspiration from the Monte Carlo Casino, creating an unexpected European architectural connection in central Colombia.
