ENGLISH VERSION (click here!)
The city of Coro, in Falcón State, Venezuela, is steeped in history and historical figures. Its streets are spaces brimming with culture and heritage, and today I want to share a little glimpse of that with you.
We started our second day of adventure at almost noon, a little late for us, but we were a bit exhausted from our first day of travel, which ended with a sunset at the Monument to the Virgin of Saint Anne, so after breakfast, we went to visit downtown Coro.
Our first stop was on Zamora Street, specifically at the Arco de la Federación, an iconic monument built in honor of General Juan Crisóstomo Falcón, who was president of Venezuela. This arch is not the original; it was demolished once and rebuilt and reopened in 1997 to commemorate the 470th anniversary of the city of Coro.
We continued for two more blocks and came across the Old Seminary, which was closed at the time of my visit, so I could only see its closed doors and windows.
The seminary is located on the same block as Plaza Riera, a space with many bushes, trees, and a small, almost unnoticeable sculpture in honor of General Gregorio Riera, a Falconian who took part in numerous important battles, including the Battle of La Vela, in his unattainable struggle to defeat the revolution.
Across the street and opposite Plaza Zamora is the San Gabriel Church. This religious temple has colonial-style architecture and was completed in 1901 by General Guillermo Aranguren, but its construction was begun by Crisóstomo Falcón in 1867. It was also closed, which discouraged me a little because I wanted to see inside.
I also took a quick tour of Ezequiel Zamora Square, which has a small pedestal with a bust of this Venezuelan leader, who played an important role in the Federal War in La Vela de Coro and shared ideals with General Juan Crisóstomo Falcón.
This was just the beginning of this interesting and long day, but soon I will show you every place I visited on my first trip to Coro.

La ciudad de Coro, en el Estado Falcón en Venezuela, aguarda mucha historia y personajes históricos en sus calles, son espacios llenos de cultura y patrimonio y un pequeño vistazo de ello les quiero compartir hoy.
Dimos inicio a nuestro segundo día de aventura, casi al mediodía un poco tarde para nosotros, pero estábamos un poco agotados con nuestro primer día de viaje que terminó con un atardecer en el Monumento de la Virgen de Santa Ana, así que después de desayunar fuimos a visitar el centro de Coro.
En la Calle Zamora tuvo lugar nuestra primera parada, específicamente en el Arco de la Federación, un monumento emblemático qué fue construido en honor al General Juan Crisóstomo Falcón quién fue presidente de Venezuela, este arco no es el original, fue demolido una vez y reconstruido e ignagurado nuevamente en 1997 para conmemorar el aniversario 470 años de la ciudad de Coro.
Continuamos hasta dos cuadras más de trayecto y nos encontramos con el Antiguo Seminario, que para el momento de mi visita se encontraba cerrado, así que solo pude ver sus puertas y ventanas cerradas.
El seminario queda en la misma cuadra de la Plaza Riera, un espacio que posee muchos arbustos, árboles y una pequeña escultura que casi pasa desapercibida en honor al General Gregorio Riera, quién fuera un Falconiano que formó parte de numerosas batallas importantes entre ellas la Batalla de la Vela, en su lucha inalcanzable por derrotar la revolución.
Del otro lado de la calle y frente a la Plaza Zamora, se encuentra la Iglesia San Gabriel, este templo religioso posee una arquitectura estilo colonial, se termino de construir en 1901 por el General Guillermo Aranguren, pero su obra fue iniciada por Crisóstomo Falcón en el año 1867, también estaba cerrado, lo cuál me desánimo un poquito porque quería conocer su interior.
Por otra parte, hice un rápido recorrido por la Plaza de Ezequiel Zamora, la cuál posee un pequeño pedestal con un busto de este Caudillo Venezolano, que formó parte importante de la Gerra Federal en La Vela de Coro y además compartía ideales con el General Juan Crisóstomo Falcón.
Este fue solo el inicio de este interesante y largo día, pero que pronto les iré mostrando cada sitio que pude conocer en mi primera vez recorriendo Coro.

Thank you for the affection I receive✨️
A very beautiful gate on the road. And the place is also very beautiful. I really enjoyed reading your post.
I hope you like it and enjoy this tour.
This is another wonderful tour thanks to you @noalys. Among all the photos your shared I love the San Gabriel Church. I liked the most its vibrant yellow color. It makes me want to visit it too and have lots of picture of it. Take a selfie with it as the background. It's just sad that it's closed. May be the insides is as beautiful as it is outside. Nevertheless it looks beautiful to me.
And wonderful trips will continue to come, because I love traveling, discovering new places, and returning to others that I love to visit. Almost always, I find religious temples closed or about to close, but at least I was able to appreciate how beautiful this church is, and I hope to return soon to explore it.
