Avenida JimenezAfter the market, you will walk towards Avenida Jimenez and 7th Avenue, where you will start to get a clear idea of the initiation of the political conflict and learned what happened during the riots of Bogotazo in 1948. You will visit Santander Plaza, the San Francisco church, Jorge Eliecer Gaitan´s memorial and view the eclectic architecture of the city center. Walking along 7th Avenue towards Plaza Bolivar as you get a better understanding about Colombia´s troublesome history.
-
Museo Nacional de Colombia FragmentosNext, you will head to visit the "counter-monument" Fragmentos built by the artist Doris Salcedo and a group of women who were victims of Colombia's armed conflict.(Gallery closed on Mondays) This artwork was built using the melted rifles of FARC ex-members as raw material and will stay on display during the same amount of years that the armed conflict lasted. Contrary to a common monument this artwork has a very distinctive approach to what a monument should be, represent and feel like.

Centro Cultural Gabriel Garcia MarquezFrom Fragmentos you will go back on a short walk towards Selva Nevada, a company dedicated to preserve biodiverse crops throughout Colombia working hand in hand with conflict-vulnerable farmer communities through fair trade and association. The ice-cream here is full of exotic options as well as the traditional flavors. It´s simply delightful.

Also, endless number of demonstrations in favor and against the Peace Agreement signing in 2016 and many other events that have marked the current situation of the country.
