Once a royal prison

The Casa Amarilla in Caracas was once a royal prison and in the basement cells you can still see iron bars, chains and shackles. Since then, the building has been home to the Ecclesiastical Council, the residence of President Cipriano Castro, the Palacio del Gobierno, and the headquarters of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The Casa Amarilla was also where Venezuelan independence was declared on April 19, 1810. Free admission. Hours: Monday through Friday, from 9:00 am to 12:30 pm and from 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm
