Bogota.
Bogota is full of contrasts. Since it was founded in 1538 untill today
it has been growing steadily and shaping its identity. Its typically
colonial quality is still evident today. Towards the end of the 19th
century, the Spanish style was replaced by other European tendencies.
France's influence is evident in many of the palaces built during this
period. In the residential areas, the English tendencies are evident
in the houses built during the mid-twentieth century. Towards the end
of the century, as in most big cities in the world, skyscrapers and
huge shopping centres were built, following the North American
tradition.
