Captured by Simón Bolívar in 1819, it was the capital of the independent nation of Great Colombia that also included Ecuador, Panama, and Venezuela, and became the capital of present-day Colombia in 1830 when Great Colombia was dissolved. Today it rewards visitors with a heady cocktail of pre-Hispanic and colonial cultural attractions, hip enclaves of urban cool, world-class dining, and exclusive shopping.
