    Plaza de Cisneros, also known as Parque de las Luces (Park of Lights), is a central public square. It is primarily known for its "artificial forest" of 300 illuminated concrete pillars, which are up to 24 meters high.

    The square is named after the Cuban engineer Francisco Javier Cisneros, who led the construction of the Antioquia Railway. Originally, at the end of the 19th century, the area served as the city's main marketplace and a central hub for goods transfer right next to the train station.
