Teatro Municipal de Cali

Cali's foundation


This is the place where Cali was founded as a city.  Like most South American cities Cali has a specific date it was founded on; that's normally the date a consquistador decided to start a settlement at that particular place.  Such a start-date obviously does not take into account the existence of native people who might be living in that area for many centuries.

Iglesia La Ermita, Cali



We reached Cali at night and did not do much before going to the bed.  Next day we walked from Torre de Cali to the City Center.  Our first stop was Iglesia la Ermita.
