Statue of Bolívar

In the Plaza de Bolivar Tunja, there is a Bolivar statue that dates all the way back to 1883. It was originally going to be placed in Bogota to mark their 100th anniversary of independence. In the capital there was already a statue of Bolivar, so the administration of President Nuñez donated to Boyacá and was inaugurated on August 7, 1891 to commemorate the Battle of Boyacá. By reforming the Plaza Bolivar in the twentieth century, the pedestal of the statue was changed.
