Plaza Cisneros
This place is all about #perspectives. Once the Palace of Justice, it was converted into a shopping mall. So, though, hundreds of people pass through this place everyday, very few really sit to appreciate it’s marvelous architecture. I consider it must-see when visiting Medellin #culture
