PLAZA HERRERA
The equestrian statue of General Tomás Herrera, the valiant leader of a separatist movement that lasted several months in 1840, is the work of French sculptor Auguste Denis. Created after the fire of 1781, the plaza hosted numerous bullfights until 1928. To the west, the Mano de Tigre (Tiger 's Hand) is the main remnant of the imposing wall that protected the city until 1856. One remembers the Casa Boyacá, "Casa Barco", a picturesque wooden house shaped like a boat keel that housed 40 families and burned down in 2018.
