This place is just beautiful and has a very rich history. It was constructed under Antonio Guzmán Blanco's rule. It has beautiful European architecture, especially French. Do not forget to visit the new museum located in that place. It is truly outstanding and not so over crowded.

Take a look of this masterpiece. It's called "El Gazebo" and was brouth from Belgium to Venezuela, more than one hundred of years ago.



It is not a tourist spot and it is located in an unsafe area, unfortunately. Please, find a tourist guide. If you have trouble to find one or you need help, feel free to contact me. It is REALLY IMPORTANT for you to get a tourist guide.
