In this same house, General José María Córdova (in 1799) and his brother, Colonel Salvador Córdova (in 1801) were born. The current museum began on December 13, 1973. It features architecture characteristic of Antioquian colonization, with a single story, built with rammed earth and wood, floors made of clay slabs, and a tile roof. In one of its rooms, there is a mural of the Battle of Ayacucho, painted by the master Salvador Arango Sánchez. The building revolves around a central courtyard fully lined with small stones, adorned in the center with a fountain. It is surrounded by a corridor with wooden and cane columns and railings, which provides access to the different spaces of the house. On the upper part is the area where the stables and other services connected to the former estate were located. Currently, it houses the municipal library and has spaces for arts training and educational activities.

PLAZA CORONEL SALVADOR CÓRDOVA
Originally, the land on which it is built was part of the Córdova house. It was erected in honor of Colonel Salvador Córdova, and in the center is his bust, which was donated by the Departmental Assembly of Antioquia in 1929. The park spaces are decorated with planters located in front of the bust; the floor is made of stones and it has surrounding fences with an entrance gate.
