History, memory and resilience
To learn about the history and beginnings of what used to be the great Villa de Aburrá and the first two centuries of Medellín, there's no better place than Comuna 10 - La Candelaria, in the central-eastern part of the city. Its churches, buildings, streets, squares and parks tell the story of how this place was the social, cultural, economic and financial hub of Medellín of yesteryear.
