The center is dedicated to the memory of Lucy Tejada, a prominent politician, human rights activist, and deputy of Valle del Cauca, who was murdered in 2005 for her fight against corruption and violence. It serves as a space to promote culture, historical memory, and rights in Cali, Colombia, honoring her legacy of social justice.

The best time is during weekday mornings (Tuesday to Friday), when there are fewer crowds and the weather in Cali is cooler, avoiding the hotter afternoons. Seasonally, the dry season from December to March offers more comfortable visits, but always check the events calendar for cultural festivals.

Yes, the center has access ramps, elevators, and adapted restrooms for people with disabilities, making for an inclusive visit. If you need special assistance, contact them in advance at (602) 385-0330 or through the City Hall website to coordinate arrangements.
