This large church is the nicest one I have seen in Medellin. It is located on Plaza Botero.

This is a large museum of modern art: about a half made by Botero himself. You can see here some statues and paintings made in his typical style. The plaza in front is full of his statues as well.

This is a small but very lively park with nice landscaping and fountains. It is surrounded by many cafes and restaurants, and its big trees offer a lot of shade.
