Chorro de quevedo

This guide to the plaza at Chorro de Quevedo in Bogotá starts with a silence: no water in the fountain that gave the square its name. It traces back to 1832, when a priest named Francisco Quevedo piped in a public fountain for neighbors to draw water from, and follows the site's earlier claims by the Muisca and by the city's Spanish founder. Listen for how a bridge collapse in 1896 changed the sound of this corner.
