Known primarily for its coal-mining legacy, Topaga offers visitors a unique blend of natural beauty, cultural heritage, and the warmth of its close-knit community. If you're seeking an off-the-beaten-path destination that promises both adventure and tranquility, Topaga is the place to be. Among the many curiosities of a town where on July 11, 1819, Liberator Simón Bolívar and Coronel James Rooke of the British Legion fought one of the bloodiest battles of the Liberation campaign against the Spanish Royalist forces, is the gilded church of the Immaculate Conception. Founded by Jesuits in 1632, the Church has numerous wood carvings, including one of the Devil, a Dragon and several whispering Angels gazing at worshipers near the nave. #boyacaesparavivirla #elpaísdelabelleza Secretaría de Cultura y Patrimonio de Boyacá Ministerio de Comercio, Industria y Turismo #topaga
