museums

Sugamuxi hosts one main museum which is Museo Suamox in Sogamoso. This is where a replica of the Muisca Temple of the Sun was built (because it was originally burned down by the Spaniards) and it has an important collection of items from the Muisca culture and traditions of our region. Everything from fossils, mummies, indigenous artifacts, ancient skulls, pottery and much more can be found in this quaint and well-developed community museum.

It is said that the Temple of the Sun located in Sugamuxi and its Suamox Valley (also called the Sun Valley or Valle del Sol) was known as the Chibcha "Rome". This is because religious and sacred events of high importance were collaborated here in this region for all the people of the vast indigenous Muisca territory in the Americas.
