Monserrate History...:D

Monserrate o 'Mount in the form of teeth' treasure in its 3131 meters of
height and its history of 402 years of adventures and legends sanctuary
are combined with the faith of Bogota.
The interest in this hill, the main tourist attraction of the city is transformed into magic when you visit after 6:00 pm and not in the morning as hundreds of faithful and athletes
do it daily.
This charm has accompanied the Monserrate Sanctuary since its founding in 1640. Perhaps because of this, its history is interwoven with historical facts and with fantastic fables that grandmothers have been telling over time.
Juan de Borja was the one who authorized Pedro Solis Valenzuela to build a chapel on the hill in honor of Our Lady of Montserrat, a mountain native of Spain, close to Barcelona.
The draft went beyond Solis. The idea was to build a monastery for monks Carthusians (religious who remain silent and do not eat meat or liquor). The work was completed in 1657, thanks to the collaboration of Santafereño, who with great effort, and as penance, building materials rose.
The popular tradition that the image of Christ was accidentally fallen into the sanctuary, but when it went down was immensely heavy and when the rose was very light.
Moving away a bit of religiosity, other stories grow around Mt. Thus, in a little book that is sold at the shrine that contains the history of it, this ensures that in 1895, Harry Warner tightrope stretched a cable between Guadalupe and Monserrate and crossed on foot. Also recognized is the story there in 1927 that representatives of an automotive brand announced that their vehicle would climb the steep path to demonstrate the quality of the car.
Fantasy stories like these abound in the minds of the cops and contribute to the magic that awakens The Fallen Lord of Monserrate.

Metallica in COLOMBIA

Metallica history
Metallica is an American heavy metal band from Los Angeles, California, formed in 1981. Founded when drummer Lars Ulrich posted an advertisement in a local newspaper, Metallica's line-up has primarily consisted of Ulrich, rhythm guitarist and vocalist James Hetfield and lead guitarist Kirk Hammett, while going through a number of bassists. Currently, the spot is held by Robert Trujillo.
Metallica's early releases included fast tempos, instrumentals, and aggressive musicianship that placed them as one of the "big four" of the thrash metal subgenre alongside Slayer, Megadeth, and Anthrax during the genre's development into a popular style. The band earned a growing fan base in the underground music community and critical acclaim, with the 1986 release Master of Puppets described as one of the most influential and "heavy" thrash metal albums. The band achieved substantial commercial success with Metallica (1991), which debuted at number one on the Billboard 200. With this release the band expanded its musical direction resulting in an album that appealed to a more mainstream audience.
In 2000, Metallica was among several artists who filed a lawsuit against Napster for sharing the band's copyright-protected material for free without the band members' consent. A settlement was reached, and Napster became a pay-to-use service. Despite reaching number one on the Billboard 200, the release of St. Anger alienated many fans with the exclusion of guitar solos and the "steel-sounding" snare drum
The band has won nine Grammy Awards, and has had five consecutive albums debut at number one on the Billboard 200, making Metallica the first band to. As of December 2009, Metallica is the fourth highest-selling music artist since the SoundScan era began tracking sales on May 25, 1991, selling a total of 52,160,000 albums in the United States alone.

History of the capital of colombia

Bacatá was the center of the Chibcha tribe who was in these lands, to the time when the Spanish conquistador Gonzalo Jimenez de Quesada founded the city on August 6, 1538.
In this new city, named Bogotá, established the Viceroyalty of New Granada in 1717. In 1819, Simón Bolívar seized it and named it as the capital of La Gran Colombia (now territory of Colombia, Ecuador, Panama and Venezuela).
It was also the capital of New Granada (now Colombia) when Great Colombia was dissolved in 1830.
The city grew slowly because the Bogota or cachacos wanted to preserve their ancient culture. They wanted much cared for his city and its churches, convents and houses built in Spanish colonial style and their schools as the College of St. Bartholomew (1604), the Santo Tomás de Aquino (1608) which became University Santo Tomas (1639) and the Colegio Mayor del Rosario (1653), among others.
Bogota has been called a very long time, "The South American Athens." Bogotanos take pride in speaking the best and purest Castilian of the New World.
Bogotá expanded rapidly after 1940 due to migration of rural people who came to town in search of better economic opportunities.
A "microcosm" of the Nation
Currently, Bogota is the largest financial center, politics and culture of Colombia. As the major educational center, with famous universities like the University of Los Andes, Javeriana, Nacional, Rosario, School of Engineering Julio Garavito, etc..
Bogota is a cosmopolitan city in constant expansion. It is one of the fastest growing metropolitan areas, not only in Colombia but in South America.
Its more than seven million people, including multitudes of immigrants from all over the world, make the capital a true "microcosm" of the nation.
Has a variety of industries such as motor vehicle assembly, food processing, printing and publishing houses, manufacture of beverages, textiles, metal goods, machinery, electrical equipment, etc.. Many banks and corporations maintain their principal home in Bogota. Railways and highways, including the Pan American Highway, linking the city with other major centers.
Bogota includes the city and its surroundings (metropolitan area). The nearest cities are Bosa, Engativa Fontibón, Suba and Usme. Usaquén is part of the capital district, from 1991.
Bogotá offers both residents and visitors everything that a modern city can offer: a vibrant and diverse cultural and intellectual life and a huge selection of restaurants, bars and nightclubs with a variety of dining and entertainment.
This picturesque city known for its colonial architecture, its collection of pre-Columbian art made of gold, splendid colonial churches and its magnificent museums, is also a city of futuristic architecture with ultramodern buildings and construction giant.
It is also a city of "gamines" as children of the tales of Dickens, beggars, shantytowns and major traffic congestion.
This incredible mix of prosperity and poverty, Maseratis and mules, makes Bogotá one of the most chaotic, fascinating and aggressive metropolises of the world. Tourists who visit fall in love with it and want to stay there forever.
