Lonely Planet review for Palacio de San Carlos

A block north, on the south side of Calle 10 is the massive edifice of Palacio de San Carlos, which has seen a few lives, notably as the presidential HQ of Simón Bolívar, who narrowly escaped an assassination attempt here in 1828, when his friend-with-privileges Manuelita Sáenz tipped him off and became known in Bogotá circles as ‘the liberator of the liberator.’ A (dramatically worded) sign in Latin under his window (to the right) retells it.
