newspaper mockup Once Dangerous Comuna 13 in Colombia Attracts Visitors Through Graffiti And Tourism

The once most dangerous district in Medellin, the second largest city of Colombia, has been seeing a increasing number of tourists after the local government's urban project revitalizes the neighborhood in the district known as Comuna 13.

Comuna 13, with more than 200,000 inhabitants, is the most heavily populated of all the 16 districts of Medellin.

It used to be the most violent district, as it was home to drug dealers, gangs and anti-government armed groups.

A few years ago, the Medellin government started to revitalize the district by improving its infrastructure and creating a better life for its residents.

The government built a giant 384-meter outdoor escalator in Comuna, improving an access for locals, as those living high up on the neighborhood's hill side had to hike to their homes everyday. The outdoor escalator reduces the travel time on the hill that is as high as a dozens-of-floor high-rise to just five minutes.

To build a better neighborhood, the local government invited graffiti artists and local residents to draw on walls together. The graffiti gave dilapidated houses new looks and became a tourist attraction.

Right now, the once most dangerous place has become a tourist attraction in Medellin.
