Bolívar stayed in this colonial mansion on  December 23rd  of 1826, in his only visit to Coro city.
During 1824, the house was confiscated by patriots forces and became a barracks. 
When Bolivar entered the city of Coro, was conduced all the way down at Talavera Street where this house is located and greeted all his enthusiasts and followers, from the patriot forces, that congregated to welcome him, from the Balcony of this House.

The Balcon de Bolivar was decreed National Monument on March 22nd of 1966.

From the moment el Liberator was guest at this house and today, has passed 173 years.
