The sovereign state of Venezuela was born in this historic house on May 6, 1830, when Congress convened here and decreed secession from Gran Colombia. Erected as a hospital around 1710 (thus being the city’s oldest existing house), after independence the building was remodeled as a college, which later became the Universidad de Valencia. Extensively restored over recent years, it’s now a museum. The few exhibits on display include a brief history of Valencia’s past posted on boards and a 12-minute video on the history of the house.
