Its design is intended to promote air circulation and mitigate the heat of the region in the old fishing district of El Cabrero. Declared a national monument in 1950, it was the house where the four-time president of Colombia, Rafael Núñez, composer of the national anthem, lived. It is a two-story wooden construction with a characteristic white and green color.
