Wilborada 1047 is a bookstore and cultural space located in an architecturally significant house in Bogotá, built in 1943 and adapted with a design that preserves its original timber-framed style. It features reading areas, a CafeCultor café, internal walkways, a patio, and a space for informal gatherings, all spread across 300 square meters that invite visitors to read, converse, and linger.
Its name pays homage to Wilborada, the first woman canonized by the Roman Catholic Church and considered the patron saint of booksellers. Inspired by her story, the bookstore aims to be a haven for those who believe in the power of the printed book, with a constantly evolving selection that includes classic and contemporary literature, poetry, essays, art, gastronomy, history, and books for children and young adults.
In addition, Wilborada 1047 maintains an active cultural program: every Thursday at 7:00 p.m. There are gatherings, book launches, and talks, and on Saturdays at 4:30 p.m. there are children's readings. A place to read, share ideas, and experience literature firsthand.
