    Iglesia de San Francisco

    La Iglesia de San Francisco (San Francisco church) was built in between 1745 adn 1887. Is one of the most beautiful churches in Venezuela; is one of the best examples of our local barroc art-architecture (which is not as superb and breathtaking as the mexican barroc style: churrigueresco; or the churches you can find in Peru or in Colombia). But Iglesia de San Francisco is my very favorite church and Iīm very proud of it. It was declared "National Monument" because on October 14th, 1813, Simon Bolivar recieved the title of "General Captain of the Army of Venezuela" and was named: "El Libertador" (The Liberator). This took place in San Francisco, which is a couples of block from Bolivar's house.

  • If you want to know a little about venezuelan history you should go to Simon Bolivarīs house, itīs located in downtown Caracas, and there you can find the original house where the liberator of Venezuela was born. Itīs a very nice place to go because you can see how the people used to live back in the 1800īs

    A stroll through old caracas The city's historical center about an hour's time you will be able to cover the 10 block area. PLAZA BOLIVAR Original plaza de armas is the birth place of caracas 400 hundred years ago.start here to go to the CATHEDRAL OF CARACAS,CITY HALL AND THE CONGRESS building.Also there you will see the equestrian statue of bolivar himself.On the same street you can visit EL MUSEO BOLIVAR,A pink-hued building that has everything from documents,rifles to swords. Museum is open tuesday-friday 9-noon,2-6,closed saturday and monday. ONE OF THE UNIQUE THINGS TO DO IS CARACAS BY CABLE CAR One of the best sites in the world is to glide into caracas from the 7,000 foot MOUNT AVILA PEAK CABLE CAR AT NIGHT.
