Santa Fe de Antioquia Review
Eighty kilometers (50 miles) northwest of Medellín is the province's former capital, Santa Fe de Antioquia. Founded in 1541, the town is now a colonial showpiece, with cobbled streets and whitewashed houses. It's well known for its orfebrería (gold work). Visit the workshops on Carrera 10 between the cathedral and the river.
