Plazoleta del Rosario
Ac. 13, Bogotá
Cobblestone square once framed by a conquistador's statue and colonial-era cafe buildings.
This guide to Plazoleta del Rosario in Bogota opens with two conquistador statues toppled within nine days in 2021, including the one that stood right on this square for nearly four decades. It traces the plaza's changes of fortune, from the Universidad del Rosario's shared entrance to the vanished Cafe Santa Fe, where a storied football club is said to have been founded at a corner table. Secondhand booksellers have set up folding tables on these same stones nearly every year since 1936.
