In the Heart of the Capital

The Venezuelan capital is a city that gives us incredible spaces. It is a fairly modern city, where large buildings and architectural developments set the tone of the urban profile. But more than 450 years of history do not pass in vain, it is in this way that we also manage to find blocks of historical character, where the features of a deeply colonial city still persist as a memory of the European past, but at the same time this also becomes living history.
It is incredible to see how such old constructions still continue to function, maintaining their original structure, but at the same time making use of the necessary technological advances that allow their adaptation to a reality that forces us to keep pace with digital and social changes. The blocks that make up the surroundings of the Plaza Bolivar in Caracas are a true icon of the capital's identity, in these spaces are places of historical significance, places that changed the destiny of an entire continent and that today remain standing as an unmistakable symbol of the struggle for freedom.
It is an area where color prevails, a deep patriotic feeling and the conviction that the Venezuelan people never forgets its glorious past, but at the same time it is an indisputable reference of how great the future can be. Unquestionably, these images show one of the most important and beautiful spaces of a city that has always welcomed me with open arms, which little by little I am getting to know in depth and at the same time I am enjoying its subtleties, divergences and peculiarities.
