Casa de Poesía Silva
Casa de Poesía Silva is a literary stop in La Candelaria, centred on poetry and the former home of José Asunción Silva. Its programme gives the visit direction.
Come for Colombian poetry rather than a conventional museum collection. The foundation links Silva’s home with readings, guided visits and educational activity devoted to poets from Colombia and beyond. It offers a more specialised literary experience than the broad research collections of Luis Ángel Arango Library.
What to look for
The foundation occupies the former home of poet José Asunción Silva.
Poetry readings and educational activities carry its literary purpose into the present.
Useful to know
Look at the poetry programme before choosing a day, especially if hearing a reading is your main reason to visit.
Combine the house with a La Candelaria walk rather than assuming it is a large museum.
