This spectacular rock outcropping on a hillside in Colombia isn’t a rock outcropping at all; rather, it’s the Biblioteca Parque España, a library, museum and cultural center that offers amazing views of Santo Domingo. It both stands out from and blends in with its natural surroundings in a completely unique way. I think I’m in love. Just take a look at this gallery and tell me you don’t suddenly have an urge to visit Santo Domingo.

Colombia has been investing a lot in culture, with several social programs aimed to bring culture to poor neighborhoods and architectural remarkable libraries. We are posting some of them in Plataforma Arquitectura. Check out the slums where this library is located…
Also, since most of the city is on a slope, they use a Cable Metro. A hanging transport trough the slopes of the hill.
