Plaza Mercado
The Plaza Mercado in Girardot, designed by Leopoldo Rother, is an architectural landmark of the 20th century in Colombia, built between 1946 and 1948. It stands out for its efficiency and natural ventilation, thanks to its innovative concrete membrane cover. Today, it remains a vital meeting point, promoting civic culture and offering community services. The "Girardot Returns to the Plaza" initiative seeks to revitalize this emblematic space, with activities that strengthen the sense of belonging.
With the collaboration of government entities and the community, it is expected to continue being a symbol of identity and progress for the city. The Market Square is not only an architectural monument, but also a living witness to the history and evolution of Girardot, enriching the lives of its inhabitants and visitors with its cultural and social legacy.
