Santa Cruz De Mompox
Mompox or Mompós, officially Santa Cruz de Mompox, is a town and municipality in northern Colombia, in the Bolívar Department. The town initially grew from its proximity to the Magdalena river and has preserved much of its colonial character. It also played an important role in the liberation of South America from Spain. Today, Mompox depends upon tourism, fishing, and some commerce generated by the local cattle raising. It has about 30,000 inhabitants, and is adjacent to the municipalities of Pinillos and San Fernando. The historic center of Mompox was made a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1995, owing to its preserved colonial architecture and mixture of architectural styles. History Mampo (or Mompoj) was the local indigenous chieftain (''cacique'') of the Malibu culture, when the Spanish conquistadors arrived, and Mompox means "land of the ruler Mampo". The city was founded on May 3, 1537, by Alonso de Heredia, brother of Pedro de Heredia, as a safe port on the Magdale ...

Edward Walhouse Mark - Iglesia De Santa Bárbara Mompós, Acuarela
Edward is an English given name. It is derived from the Anglo-Saxon name ''Ēadweard'', composed of the elements '' ēad'' "wealth, fortune; prosperous" and '' weard'' "guardian, protector”. History The name Edward was very popular in Anglo-Saxon England, but the rule of the Norman and Plantagenet dynasties had effectively ended its use amongst the upper classes. The popularity of the name was revived when Henry III named his firstborn son, the future Edward I, as part of his efforts to promote a cult around Edward the Confessor, for whom Henry had a deep admiration. Variant forms The name has been adopted in the Iberian peninsula since the 15th century, due to Edward, King of Portugal, whose mother was English. The Spanish/Portuguese forms of the name are Eduardo and Duarte. Other variant forms include French Édouard, Italian Edoardo and Odoardo, German, Dutch, Czech and Romanian Eduard and Scandinavian Edvard. Short forms include Ed, Eddy, Eddie, Ted, Teddy and Ned.

Pueblo Patrimonio (Colombia)
''La Red Turística de Pueblos Patrimonio''  ("The Tourism Network of Heritage Towns") is an initiative led by Colombia's Ministry of Commerce, Industry, and Tourism, with the assistance of the Ministry of Culture. It is administered by the National Tourism Foundation (FONTUR). The program seeks to promote tourism in a network of small and mid-sized towns that represent aspects of Colombia's cultural heritage, and to encourage sustainable economic development in these communities. ''Pueblos Patrimonio'' are selected from amongst Colombia's inventory of designated ''Bienes de Interés Cultural'' (Cultural Heritage Assets) on the merits of their architectural, historical, and environmental characteristics, as well as unique cultural identities, which give them the potential to become "true cultural destinations." The network was first established in 2010, with an inaugural class of 11 municipalities.https://fontur.com.co/sites/default/files/2020-12/GUIA_PUEBLOS_PATRIMONIO.pdf As ...
