The Concejo Municipal is the site where the signing of the Venezuelan Declaration of Independence took place in 1811.

Today there are several rooms around the monument's garden that host a number of art works, including models of the city.
The Nacional Pantheon is situated in the north of the city of Caracas. Inside are nearly 150 tombs, the resting place of some of the most notable Venezuelans in history, the most famous of which is Simon Bolivar. The entire central nave is dedicated to his memory. Some of the tombs lie empty, but are in place as a symbol for political prisoners whose bodies were never found.
The Casa Natal de El Liberator is the birthplace and childhood home of Simon Bolivar and is situated in central Caracas. It was declared as a national monument in 2002 and possesses a range of artwork depicting battle scenes along with some of Bolivar's personal items. The center court holds the fountain in which Bolivar was baptized.
The Casa Amarilla, named for its yellow facade, is a monument building that dates back to the 17th century and used to be a royal prison. It gained its place in Venezuelan history as being the site where the first independence movement of 1810 took place. It had many uses during and after this period as a council, government and presidential building. Today it houses the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and contains many works of art that can be viewed in guided tours.
The Monumento a Los Simbolos sits amongst a government built area called Paseo Los Proceres. The monument is a pedestal that has three figures standing atop it. These figures symbolize the shield, the flag and the national anthem of Venezuela. Each of the figures was erected at different times throughout the 19th century.
