Barichara is a town and municipality in the Santander Department in northeastern Colombia.
In 2010, in recognition of its history, architecture, and touristic potential, Barichara was declared a Colombian Pueblo Patrimonio (heritage town). It is amongst only 11 municipalities nationwide that were selected to be part of the Red Turística de Pueblos Patrimonio original cohort.[4]
The town's unique, colorful architecture was an inspiration for the settings in the hit 2021 Disney animated feature Encanto.[5]
