What is the capital of Colombia?

• A. Bogota
• B. Medellin
• C. Cali
• D. Cartagena

Answer: (A)

Knowing a country's capital means identifying the city where the national government sits and where major national institutions are located. The capital of Colombia is Bogotá, the political center of the country. It houses the president’s office, Congress, and the Supreme Court, and it’s the largest city in Colombia. The name is commonly written with the accent in Spanish as Bogotá (often shown as Bogota in English). Medellín, Cali, and Cartagena are each major Colombian cities, serving as regional or coastal centers, but they are not the seat of the national government.
