This is a reminder of the past age of the city. Overall there are very few old buildings left from Medellin's earlier days.

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 small river is at this time polluted, but there are plans to clean it up. For christmas it is elaborately decorated, and when all this is lighted up at night, the view is truly beautiful.

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.

This area located along Carrera 43 in the very south of the city is the main center for banks, hotels and shopping. There is even a casino here as well as an obligatory McDonald's.
