Copacabana

Copacabana has served as a municipal centre in Antioquia’s Aburrá Valley since the early 19th century. Set north of Medellín, it forms part of the metropolitan area that follows the Medellín River through this densely settled Andean valley. The town centre is organised around Parque Principal and the Basilica of Our Lady of the Assumption, a longstanding focus of local Catholic life. Copacabana’s streets, small businesses and neighbourhoods reflect close ties to Medellín while retaining the pace of a separate municipality. The surrounding slopes and river corridor place everyday urban life within central Antioquia’s mountain setting.
