Medellin Street Art

Medellín has been revitalized since the issues of the 80s and 90s and is now one of South America's most progressive and artistic cities. One of the current highlights of the city is Comuna 13 a “slum” that once was the most dangerous neighborhood in Medellín. It was a strategic corridor for drug-lords in the 80’s so it was an area full of conflict and violence. Today this community has evolved through social and urban innovation, such as the famous outdoor escalators that were built back in 2011 to connect the community. The electric escalator takes visitors up to a platform with a stunning view of Medellín. The walkways are aligned with amazing street art everywhere.
