An example from this period is Ciudad Perdida located in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta.

In colonial times with the arrival of the Spanish, brick and tile were introduced into the country. The urban model followed an urban pattern dictated by the Crown in which the center was made up of the main squares and around it churches and town halls were erected.

Years later the Italian, French and English influences are appreciated. Modern architecture appeared after World War II, and reached its peak after the XNUMXs.
