The Plaza de Bolivar is located in the historic La Candelaria district of the Colombian capital Bogota. The central square was already used by the Musca in the pre-Columbian period. In 1539 the first church was built there on the Plaza Mayor. Until the early 19th century it was also called Plaza de la Constitución and in 1846 it was renamed Plaza de Bolivar when a statue of Bolivar was erected.
To mark the 150th anniversary of Colombia's independence, it was completely redesigned as Bolívar Square in 1960. There are many buildings of national importance around the square, such as the Catedral Primada de Colombia, the Palacio de Justicia, the Palacio Lievano and the Capitolio Nacional.
