Calle Real del Medio
Mompox’s main street, where colonial mansions still have intact wrought-iron window grilles, carved doors and colonnades, lined with silversmith shops and small museums.
Calle Real del Medio runs parallel to the riverbank through the entire historic center and is one of the most intact colonial streets in the Mompox UNESCO World Heritage core. Single-story colonial houses painted white and in bright colors line the street, with ornate wrought-iron window grilles (rejas), carved wooden doors and inner courtyards. Many have been converted into boutique hotels, restaurants and silver filigree workshops. Along the way you can connect to the Church of San Agustín, the Museum of Religious Art and Parque de la Libertad. Strolling is free. Afternoons are hot and the street is quiet, while evenings bring the most local life.
