Yellow House / Time Machine

Read "Yellow House / Time Machine" on TravelFeed.io for the best experience


Steemians we continue in the time machine touring the Historic Center of Caracas, this one I will show you my visit to the Yellow House, located in the west corner of Bolivar Square, in it were important moments for the independence of Venezuela.

Much to tell

The Yellow House has been given different uses, several state facilities have been used there, including a prison, the Main Guard and the City Hall.In the 1840s it was converted into the Government Palace.

In the Yellow House is the plaque dedicated to Jose Maria Espara who along with Manuel Gual and others raised a revolution against the Spanish empire, several of his acts managed to collect and move the feeling of the people, this made other movements in the struggle for independence.

After an intense search, José María España was captured and transferred to Caracas. On May 6, 1799, he was tried and sentenced to death, a sentence that was executed two days later in the Plaza Mayor of Caracas, today's Plaza Bolívar, where he was dismembered by the Spaniards.

Historical account of April 19, 1810, located in the Bolivarian Museum

In the Casa Amarilla (Yellow House) the historical moment was lived where the people of Caracas confronted Vicente Empara, rejecting him and the Spanish crown, Empara was dismissed and the act of separation of Venezuela from the Spanish crown was signed. This event marked the independence of our nation.

It was remodeled in 1870 by President Antonio Guzmán Blanco and then used as a presidential house in 1877 by means of a decree the National Congress designates the Government Palace as the "Mansion of the President of the Republic".

Since then it began to be called "Casa Amarilla" in the official documents themselves since General Linares Alcantara , who was the first to live there, ordered the building to be painted yellow because it represented the Liberal Party.

Among the moments lived by Casa Amarilla is the earthquake of October 28, 1900, in the middle of the land President Cipriano Castro, threw himself to the street with an umbrella, from one of its balconies.

After that situation in 1904, he decided to change the presidency and was transferred to the current Miraflores Palace. The Casa Amarilla became the seat of the Governor's Office of Caracas and the Court of Cassation.

A year later, in 1912, President Juan Vicente Gómez decreed that it should become the headquarters of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Currently, it is the headquarters of the National Chancellery of the Republic.

Its architecture

Each space has a history through its architecture, this clearly marks the time it was built.

This structure dates back to the colonial period and was later designed by the architect Juan Hurtado Manrique.

The Casa Amarilla has a quadrangular structure of 2 levels, with a main entrance that leads to a central courtyard with arcades, with beautiful circulating columns of its time.

There are several rooms full of history, furniture and art from the different periods that the Casa Amarilla has experienced.

Desk of President Cipriano Castro

There is also the library of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs where you can find the history of our treaties from the creation of the Foreign Ministry until now and issues related to the foreign policy of our country. Of which I will show you more in a future post together with the works of Art and furniture.

Its main façade is decorated with ornamental elements such as the cornices that concealed the eaves of the tile roof, and the linteled doorway the historic balcony from which Vicente empara was rejected by the population in 1810, beginning the journey to end the domination of the Spanish Empire.

Greetings to the @TravelFeed . Thank you for your suggestions, it is good to have your advice, but it would be even better if you answer the questions I have written about the disadvantages of the platform

Again I have problems posting from your platform and on other occasions I have written to the chat to clarify doubts and no response.

In the case of this post I published it from your platform and I had to edit it from another one since your platform threw an error and did not allow me to modify the publication from it.

At this time I try to make a new publication and I can not make them, this msj.
