Lonely Planet review for Observatorio Astronómico

Between the Capitolio and the Casa are spacious formal grounds where the change of the presidential guard is held on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday. On the western edge of the grounds is the Observatorio Astronómico, commissioned by José Celestino Mutis and constructed in 1803. This is reputedly the first astronomical observatory built on the continent.
