Coro, Colonial city in Falcón state, Venezuela
Santa Ana de Coro stands near the Caribbean Sea, with its historic port of La Vela situated 11 kilometers from the central district.
Founded in 1527 by Juan Martínez de Ampiés, Coro became the first capital of the Captaincy General of Venezuela and hosted the region's first bishopric.
The architecture of Coro combines Spanish Mudéjar designs with German medieval patterns, resulting in over 600 protected historical buildings throughout the city.
The city contains numerous lodging options near the historic center, allowing visitors to explore the cobblestone streets and colonial structures on foot.
The Jewish cemetery of Coro, established in the 1800s by Sephardic immigrants from Curaçao, represents the oldest Hebrew burial ground in South America.
