  • 5/5 gleiner s. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) A place with a lot of history, where you can find works made by Tito Chambers on Bolivar and Venezuelan history. Formerly it was much larger but with the change in the city they cut it, before, for example, the house reached Plaza Bolivar. The liberator lived there until he was 9 years old since his mother died at that age. Some emblematic works that can be found are: "Bolivar in Chimborazo", "The battle of the cheese makers" "The wedding of Bolivar and María Antonia" among others. (Original) Un lugar con mucha historia, donde se pueden encontrar obras hechas por Tito salas sobre Bolivar y la historia Venezolana. Antiguamente era mucho más grande pero con el cambio en la ciudad la recortaron, antes por ejemplo la casa llegaba a la plaza Bolivar. El libertador vivió allí hasta que tuvo 9 años ya que a esa edad murió su madre. Algunas obras emblemáticas que se pueden encontrar son: "Bolivar en el Chimborazo", "La batalla de las queseras" "La boda de Bolivar y María Antonia" entre otros.

  • 3/5 Andry B. 1 year ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) What great damage they did by placing those lights in the upper part that takes away the showiness of the street and the roof of the house. The Casa Natal is a historical and tourist place and there is a lot of informal commerce that makes it horrible. (Original) Que daño tan grande le hicieron colocando esas luces en la parte superior que le quita vistosidad a la calle y al techo de la casa. La Casa Natal es un lugar histórico y turístico y hay mucho comercio informal que lo pone horrible.

    (Translated by Google) The connection with our history is always good: the great Mantuan! But they do not have a public schedule to conform to, if you request information it is a bit rude and disorganized, lack of police surveillance in its vicinity ... However, the plan to rescue the main historic center of the nation is a good bet in process (Original) Siempre es bueno la conexión con nuestra historia: el gran mantuano! Pero no tienen un horario público al cual amoldarse, si solicitas información es un poco grosera y desorganizada, falta de vigilancia policial en sus adyacencias... Sin embargo el plan de rescatar el casco histórico principal de la nación es una buena apuesta en proceso

    (Translated by Google) It continues to be well maintained and together with the Bolivarian Museum, they are iconic places in our history, so I recommend visiting them. The surrounding streets are acceptable, nice decoration with red umbrellas, for example, and cleanliness, however, a little further on, things change. Bad smells, garbage... Lack of effort, public services such as toilets and culture (Original) Continúa con un buen mantenimiento y junto con el museo bolivariano, son lugares icónicos de nuestra historia, por lo que recomiendo visitarlos.

Falta esfuerzo, servicios públicos como sanitarios y cultura
