Parque de la Libertad
A small park in the heart of the old town with a statue of Simón Bolívar, commemorating Mompox as one of the first towns in New Granada to declare independence.
Parque de la Libertad is a shady square in the historic center, with a statue of Bolívar at its heart. On August 6, 1810, Mompox declared full independence from Spain, making it one of the first towns in New Granada to do so, and the park takes its name from this event. Colonial houses and small shops surround the park, and in the evenings residents chat and cool off on the benches. Admission is free, and it is easy to pass through while strolling the old town.
