House of Santander, Birth house museum in Villa del Rosario, Colombia
The two-story colonial residence features white walls, wooden balconies, and period furnishings that represent regional architectural styles from the early 1800s.
Francisco de Paula Santander, who became a military leader and president of Colombia, lived in this house until he turned thirteen years old.
The museum exhibits display military uniforms, weapons, and personal items that belonged to Santander during his time as a general and statesman.
The museum opens daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, offering guided tours in Spanish and English for visitors interested in Colombian independence history.
The residence stands within the Park of Great Colombia complex, near the historic church where the Colombian Constitution of 1821 was signed.
