Very few things reflect the splendour of a time with such faithfulness as the architecture of their houses. Nothing like the elaborate design, construction and décor details inherent to a wonderful place to take a journey through time and rediscover the majesty of Colombia's Belle Époque through its Republican houses. Elegant hallways, warm bedrooms and rich studios that are an invitation to remember the cultural legacy wrapped in yesteryear's nostalgia, which comes to life again and celebrates the grandeur represented in the refinement and elegance of these houses. With texts by renowned Colombian architect, Alberto Saldarriaga Roa, Casa Republicana: Colombia's Belle Époque is a sumptuous journey through one of Colombia's richest times in terms of architecture and aesthetics over all of the country's history. This is a tour through the homes that became silent witnesses of the post-colonial Cultural Revolution in America. Thanks to the eclectic combination of foreign styles and trends that are the main characteristic of these beautiful buildings, they provided their dwellers with a new way of assuming domestic life.
