Santo Domingo: Parque Biblioteca Espana
If you ever get a chance to visit Santo Domingo in Columbia you must visit their famous library park, Parque Biblioteca Espana. Constructed in 2007 by Giancarlo Mazzanti, these rock-like buildings are a true piece of art. These buildings serve as an iconic symbol for the city and enhance urban development and public activities in the area. This so call hulking opal structure houses a library, an auditorium, computer rooms, a day care center and an art gallery. The buildings also serve as a public plaza and lookout towards the city. The facade of the building is made of slabs of black slate with 30% oxide. The main goal for the construction project was to create an educational environments and at the same time emphasizes on the uniqueness and creativeness of architectural design.
I think I’m in love with these buildings! By the way, if you want to know how to get there. It’s high up on the hillside and the only way to get there is by the city’s metro system, the cable car line. It could be a fascinating place to visit!

Unlikely that I will ever visit Columbia, but these photographs are fantastic. Thanks.
I Think I’m in love with the buildings too. They are totally amazing. Breathless. I wish more buildings were like this. I wasn’t ever thinking of visiting Columbia, but if I ever did, this would be a reason to go.

This is just the sort of place that i would love to visit. Obviously there is more to Columbia than drug lords and the mafia
Those are awesome pictures, and i visited the Biblioteca Espana a while ago, its a great place… just one little thing, its called Colombia, not Columbia.
That looks so amazingly modern - in stark contrast to the surroundings.
