About Barichara Historic Town
Spanish colonists founded Barichara in 1741 as a farming and trading town in the mountains of what is now Santander, Colombia. Settlers built its streets and houses from local sandstone and adobe in a distinctive colonial style that gave the town its character. Barichara grew as a regional center for agriculture and craft production during the colonial period.
