HISTORY OF VENTAQUEMADA
Some tourist places
By Andrés Felipe Callejas Leiva
I am going to share you a
little bit of history of my town called
Ventaquemada. My town was founded in 1777. Simón Bolívar signed the declaration
of the Independence of Colombia in the House of the History in Ventaquemada on
august 8th 1819 to close the final Battle of Boyacá.
Ventaquemada
has some historical places, for example the stone of Pedro Pascasio Martínez
and this place is very important for Colombia because Pedro Pascasio Martinez
and his friend El Negro José was a younger who captured Barreiro the General of
the Army from Spain.
Finally, the name of Ventaquemada has a particular history. One day a
typical market was fired by strangers and Simón Bolívar said that this place is
Ventaquemada.
