Parque Nacional Enrique Olaya Herrera

Cl. 35 #3-50, Bogotá

Sprawling green park with a bronze monument to a slain liberal general and a Swiss-gifted clock tower.

This guide to Parque Nacional Enrique Olaya Herrera in Bogotá centers on General Rafael Uribe Uribe, a liberal reformer walking to Congress on the morning of October 15, 1914, when two carpenters fell in beside him on the street. You'll hear who they were, what they later confessed about that night, and why investigators pulled in dozens more people for questioning. The guide also traces how this park itself came to exist two decades later, and why the city chose to place his statue here.
