The Casa de Nariño is the official residence and principal workplace of the President of Colombia, located in the La Catedral district of La Candelaria, Bogota. In 1754, Don Vicente Nariño founded his grand house in the center of Bogota, and his son Antonio Nariño went on to become one of Colombia's founding fathers. On 23 October 1885, President Rafael Núñez purchased the Casa de Nariño and converted it into a presidential palace in observance of its beauty, significance in history, and its proximity to the National Capitol. The presidents stayed there until 1892, after which the residence was moved back to the Palacio de San Carlos. In 1906, General Rafael Reyes rebuilt the former house, and, on 20 July 1908, the government building was officially returned to the Casa de Nariño. From 1954 to 1980, the residence was again moved to the Palacio de San Carlos, but Casa de Nariño was reconsecrated the presidential residence in 1980 after the palace was remodeled. On 7 August 2002, terrorists fired a homemade rocket at the palace during Alvaro Uribe's inauguration, injuring three soldiers.
