Looking in my travel photo album I found this wonder and I wanted to share it with you, those who have traveled the trans-Andean highway in Venezuela have found this architectural gem inspired by the Marostica castle in Italy. One hour from Mérida right at the entrance of the town of Mucuchies is: "THE CASTLE OF SAN IGNACIO" Its construction was started by Ignacio Castrogiovanni, but it was Mr. Lidio Piva who completed the work in 1990, this castle works as a hotel, and has 30 rooms, a restaurant and areas decorated with stone, and wooden floors. With luxurious ornaments that evoke the Middle Ages. The architect Salvatore Spina did a wonderful job in the vaults of this castle, it is a special place for tourism in our country. It is also located in the third highest town in Venezuela at 2,893 meters above sea level, having a cold climate, characteristic of the Andes. Its full name is Santa Lucía de Mucuchíes. Mucu means "place" and Chia "the moon goddess", so her name is the place of the moon goddess. Here we can find colonial houses with worn wooden doors and super friendly people who will always be happy to treat us well, and make us feel that we are at home. So my friends, if you want to live a magical and unforgettable experience, come and get to know this beautiful place.
