Park of the Greater Colombia, Historical museum and building complex in Villa del Rosario, Colombia

The Park of the Greater Colombia encompasses historical buildings, including the House of Santander and the Historic Temple ruins, near the Venezuelan border.

The Congress of Cucuta convened in 1821 at this location, where leaders drafted Colombia's first constitution and established the union of Gran Colombia.

The museum complex presents exhibits about Colombian history from pre-Columbian times through independence, with particular focus on General Francisco de Paula Santander.

Located 6 kilometers from Cucuta on the International Highway, the park offers daily visits except Mondays, with guided tours available in Spanish.

A centuries-old tamarind tree marks the spot where constitution writers and Venezuelan patriots gathered during the formation of Gran Colombia.
