Santa Fe de Antioquia Attractions & Activities - The Best Holiday Destinations for 2020
Santa Fe de Antioquia is a town in Antioquia.
Located near the Cauca river about 50 miles northwest of Medellín. Its weather is hot year round, perfect for holidays or day trips. Santa Fe de Antioquia was founded in 1541 and many houses and churches are over 250 years old, making it the most well preserved colonial town in this part of the country. It was the capital of the Antioquia Department from 1813 until 1826, when Medellín was chosen as the new departmental seat.
Its name is commonly shortened to Antioquia by people from the region, it makes for a big confusion since it is the same name of the department (Think New York city and New York state).
