Hacia 1810, en uno de sus viajes a Venezuela y después de mucho tiempo en el exterior, Sebastián Francisco de Miranda y Rodríguez (Caracas, 28 de marzo de 1750-La Carraca, España, 14 de julio de 1816), conocido sencillamente como Francisco de Miranda, el venezolano mas universal, precursor de la Independencia de Venezuela y de latinoamérica y único latinoamericano cuyo nombre está grabado en Arco del Triunfo de París, se hospedó allí, en la Casa del Vínculo y del Retorno, y llevó adelante la primera reunión de la Sociedad Patriótica, una asociación revolucionaria fundada por él y promovida por la Junta Suprema de Gobierno de Venezuela a raíz de los sucesos del 19 de abril de 1810. Cerca de la casa funcionó la imprenta donde se imprimió el Acta de la Independencia. En la Casa del Vínculo también operó el Gobierno de Venezuela durante la separación de la Gran Colombia.

En el recorrido pudimos ver varios objetos, fotos y detalles arquitectónicos del siglo XVIII. La Señora Ana, quien amablemente nos prestó su servicio como guía turística, nos informó que durante la restauración realizada por la Alcaldía de Caracas y Fundapatrimonio, se encontraron varios objetos que son exhibidos actualmente en las instalaciones: losetas de arcillas, aceiteras, una moneda de 1862, restos de tabletas para molduras, clavos, pernos, huesos de ganado y porcelanas, pudimos ver parte de un tapíz que cubría una de las paredes antiguas. La casa también cuenta con una muestra fotográfica, donde se puede ver el trabajo de restauración y la historia de la casa. A continuación dejaré una muestra fotográfica de los detalles arquitectónicos de la casa y parte del recorrido que junto a mi amada esposa realicé.

Greetings dear friend Marcos @marcosmilano71. First and foremost, thank you so much for your immensely fascinating tour of the historic sites of culture, tourism, religion, and most especially the architectural beauties of the Venezuelan capital of Caracas. As much as all of these renowned attractions are of national importance, your first destination touched me the most.
The corner of Amadores, where the distinguished Doctor José Gregorio Hernández died, is commemorated for his heroism, sacrifice, and dedication. Better known as the Venezuelan "Doctor of the Poor", he is and will always be a significant role model for your citizens and the world. Despite the location's simplicity, that honorable landmark is a powerful testament to a man's desire of prioritizing others rather than himself. Have a blessed week. Wish you great health and productivity! 😊

Thank you for sharing with us this beautiful journey with your wife, blessings to both of you. I really liked the facade of the Altagracia Church and the tour inside the bond house, I love how it reflects the processes and construction materials of the colonial era. It is beautiful to know that in our country these places are very well preserved.
Hello @doriangel I greet you with respect and affection. Thank you for your good wishes, amen. Thanks for your comment.

Hello @yosoyada I greet you with respect. Yes, you are right, walking through the historic center of Caracas is a beautiful experience. Currently there is a lot of peace, most of the representative buildings are renovated. The people of Fundapatrimonio, PDVSA and some city halls have invested in the recovery of these buildings and some spaces for the enjoyment of the population. Receive a strong and warm hug full of blessings, positive energy and lots of light.
Representative spaces of our history, emblematic buildings, churches, theaters, open-air spaces, streets and avenues... among others, have been recovering for a long time. In honor of the truth, today in the historic center of Caracas you can see the renovation that has been given to these buildings, which are very pleasing to the eyes of locals and strangers. The House of Link and Return is one of those recovered and renovated buildings, I found it by chance since my wife and I were walking through those places, it was open and we entered. Receive a strong and warm hug full of blessings, positive energy and lots of light.Hello @apunawu I greet you with respect from Venezuela.
