"A Colonial Anecdote"

With 600 historic buildings depicting Spanish architectural styles and alleys lined with polychromatic houses, Coro is a city that personifies Venezuela's colorful character in a colonial setting. Founded by the Spanish in 1527, the city is a fine example of architectural preservation, even after withstanding unforgiving natural and man-made events. The whitewashed Cathedral Basilica of St. Ann remains one of the most revered religious sites here. Awash in strong Spanish elements, the city brims with some of the oldest colonial-style houses and buildings like Casa de Sol. Its illustrious port and the presence of several important buildings led Coro to be named as a UNESCO World Heritage site. While the city is dominated by its architectural excellence, the rippling sand dunes Los Medanos de Coro are touted to be a mini-Sahara and are a popular destination among tourists. The city's proximity to the world-class beaches of the Paraguana Peninsula attracts several adventure seekers.
