HISTORY-MONCERRATE
Don Pedro Solis, author of this work knew that the location was ideal for a monastery, which was finally completed in 1657, with the help of a “Santafereño”. Fallen Christ, the work of the master Santafereño Pedro de Lugo Albarracín, who achieved not only a beautiful picture of impressive artistic value, but also brought together the religious faith of the city.
Since that time, every day, thousands of believers devoutly climb the steps leading to the shrine at the summit, as an act of penance. While thousands of tourists, athletes and onlookers arrive by foot, cable car or cable car, and find again the harmony that can exist between God's creation and man's works.
This building is a very special structure in our city and specially in our country. This incredible creation is a memory of the old Bogota and we will always remember our history and our beautiful city for many and many more years.
