Arrest of Governor Juan Bastus y Falla in Pamplona

On July 4, 1810, in Pamplona, Doña Águeda Gallardo, joined by relatives and neighbors, confronted Governor Juan Bastus y Falla, challenging the king’s authority. In a bold act of rebellion, the people surrounded the main square from all sides, leading to the governor’s arrest—an early milestone in Colombia’s path to independence.
