Simón Bolívar

Photograph at the Simón Bolívar Memorial

On January 17, 1974, a significant event took place at the Quinta de Bolívar near Bogotá. Forces associated with the 19th of April Movement, known as M-19, entered the premises.

The group took a sword and other artefacts that had belonged to Simón Bolívar. This act was intended by the M-19 to mark the commencement of their insurgency within Colombia, serving as a symbolic proclamation of their movement's beginning.
