We toured one of the restored Colonial home in Trujillo. The Casa Urquiaga (Casa Cologne) is located on the Plaza des Armes and has a beautiful royal blue color. Note the iron work grilles on the windows.
Simon Bolivar lived here for 2 years. The house dates back to before 1604. Many period pieces of furniture are in place. There are 3 interior courtyards.
Local banks have purchased several these colonial homes and have offices inside in addition to restoring many of the rooms. June 14, 2010
