A World Heritage Site

Mompox was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1995 for its fundamental role in the history of the Spanish colony and the independence of Colombia and, consequently, Latin America, along with its invaluable colonial architecture, which has been protected and preserved over time.

Mompox inspired the universal works of Gabriel García Márquez. Its nature, architecture, and especially the idiosyncrasies and folklore of Mompox are recognizable in the Colombian Nobel Prize winner's work. If you've read any of his works, visiting Mompox will make you feel like you're living inside them and will understand details that aren't visible from the city.



As a curious fact, Mompox was the setting for films such as “Chronicle of a Death Foretold” by Gabriel García Márquez and numerous television productions such as “Escalona”, and has also inspired music videos such as “La foto de los dos” by Carlos Vives.
