Casa Natal & Museo Bolívar

Frommer's Review

These side-by-side attractions, housed in two old colonial era homes, make up the restored birthplace of Simón Bolívar and a modest museum of memorabilia and historic items related to El Libertador -- his life, death, and military and political campaigns. A place of pilgrimage for many Venezuelans, the simple house where Bolívar was born on July 24, 1783, features a series of large oil paintings depicting important historical events, while the museum has exhibits of his clothing, battle gear and writings. Give yourself about an hour to visit both sites.
