• Gato de Tejada - This monument to the river cat is situated on the left bank of the Cali River. As part of the plans to rejuvenate the Cali River and enhance its banks, the idea emerged to place a monumental sculpture on one of its sides. Renowned painter and sculptor Hernando Tejada generously donated his work “El gato del Rio” to be cast in bronze on a grand scale. The sculpture stands 3.5 meters tall, 3.40 meters wide, and 1.95 meters thick, weighing three tons. It was cast in Bogotá, where the workshop’s roof had to be dismantled for its relocation. The sculpture was unveiled on July 3, 1996.
• Museo La Tertulia - Located in the historic area known as “Charco del Burro,” a former natural spa for Los Caleños, this museum was conceived by a group called La Tertulia in the mid-1950s. They met regularly to discuss cultural topics and engage in social conversations. The museum is a modern structure, featuring a stylized design reminiscent of ancient Greek temples, complete with a large colonnade.
• Monumento a Cristo Rey - One of the city’s most iconic attractions, located on the guardian hill Los Cristales, was renovated and reopened to the public last year. Visitors can enjoy a stunning panoramic view of the city of Cali.
• Barrio San Antonio - San Antonio is renowned for its architecture, particularly its houses. A typical house often has one or two floors, with a hallway and a central or main patio featuring a river stone floor and a nearby wooden pilaster. There is a second patio adjacent to the bathrooms and kitchen, and a large plot where fruit trees are commonly found. The facades have thick walls with wooden beams, and the characteristic windows have wooden or iron bars, with four wings, two of which remain open. The main door is double and includes a peephole.
• Iglesia La Merced - This convent was home to Mercedarian Monks until 1813, when it became the headquarters for General Mosquera’s troops. It later came under the care of the Augustinian Recoleta nuns. The complex includes the Chapels of the Virgen de las Mercedes and the Virgen de los Remedios, the Chapel of San Juan de Letrán, the Religious Convent, and the Museum of Colonial and Religious Art La Merced. It was declared a National Monument in February 1975.
• Teatro Municipal Enrique Buenaventura - This building is part of the architectural trend of Creole classicism that began in the 19th century. Its design follows the model of the Italian opera house, with neoclassical adaptations. It was the first building to showcase decorative arts, retaining its original curtain by G. Alessandrini from the Peyron house in Rome, as well as imported seats from Austria, and curtains and coffered ceilings commissioned from the Henry Lefol house in Paris.
• Plaza de Caicedo - Since the city’s founding, this plaza has been the center of public, commercial, and political life. During the colonial period, it was known as Plaza Mayor and served as the meeting point for the colonial village. Later, it was called Plaza de la Constitución until 1913, when it was renamed Plaza de Caicedo in honor of the Cali hero JOAQUIN DE CAYZEDO Y CUERO, a protomartyr of independence who was executed in Pasto on January 25, 1813. A monument in his name was installed in the center of the square.
• Puente Ortiz - The Ortiz Bridge is the city’s most significant civil engineering work, representing various stages of urban development. Along with Paseo Bolívar and the Cali River, it forms a vital part of the city’s image. In the early 20th century, the bridge structured the city’s main axis, the twelfth street, where major commercial and exchange activities took place.
• Plazoleta Jairo Varela - Until August 8, 2012, it was known as the plaza of caleñidad. On that day, the esteemed Jairo Varela, founder, musician, and composer of the Niche group, passed away. In his honor, the mayor and the Cali council decided to rename it Jairo Varela Square. The plaza features a sound sculpture paying tribute to the wind instruments used by the Niche group, such as trombones and trumpets. It measures 24 meters long by 11 meters high and weighs 4 tons.
