Takes its name in homage to the Cuban engineer Francisco Javier Cisneros, precursor of the Antioquia Railroad. It is located between the EPM Library, the Vásquez and Carré Buildings and the old Railway Station. In 2002 it was remodeled and since then presents its current appearance. This old square, known as square of Guayaquil, was one of the busiest places in the city, a space where there were different manifestations of the life of Medellin, because the square became the “site of everything” there you could buy, sell and trade what people needed, which caused all people regardless of class or social strata to frequent their spaces.

(Officially José María Córdova Administrative Center) is an urban complex of buildings from where the Departmental governments of Antioquia and Municipal de Medellín are administered. There, they sit in a large square crowned by the work "Monument to the Race" by sculptor Rodrigo Arenas Betancur, the governor of the department of Antioquia and the Departmental Assembly, as well as the Mayor's Office and the Council of Medellín.

In its environment and walls it is possible to perceive the years of history, music, laughter and dance that have been part of a thriving culture.
