With 2.6 million inhabitants, Medellin is the second largest city in the country and is divided into 16 municipalities, one of those is the notorious district San Javier, or just “Comuna 13,” which for years was a veritable war zone between competing parties and gangs. A very interesting source about this topic is the book “District 13 of Medellín: The Drama on the Armed Conflict in Medellin” by author YONI ALEXANDER RENDÓN. Besides that you can find numerous artworks in the streets. The district as a whole is just decorated all over with grandiose murals and colorful graffiti. Here we have a collection of beautiful creations by photographer SANDRA BORGEMEHN and TOBIAS BRAUCH.
