Casa Anzoátegui
Now housing a museum with a modest collection of exhibits related to the crucial events of the period, Casa Anzoátegui was the home of General José Antonio Anzoátegui, the Venezuelan hero of the independence campaign who fought under Bolívar. His strategic abilities largely contributed to the victory in the Battle of Boyacá of 1819. He died here, three months after the battle, at 30.
