    • Abstract:
      Bogotá is the capital and largest city of Colombia . Officially called Bogotá, DC (Distrito Capital, or Capital District), and formerly called Santa Fé de Bogotá, the city is sometimes referred to as "The Athens of South America" because of its status as the economic, political, and cultural nexus of the continent. The greater Bogotá area has been one of the fastest-growing metropolitan areas in South America and is home to Colombia's government offices, as well as the president's home.
