A major city in Colombia, South America, known as a center for culture, innovation, and historically associated with organized crime.
Named after Medellín, Spain (from 'Metellinum' in Latin). Founded in 1675 by Spanish colonists and grew dramatically as a textile center in the 1900s.
Medellín transformed from a symbol of drug violence in the 1980s to a model for urban renewal, showing how a city can completely reinvent its identity through public investment and culture—it's now considered one of the world's most innovative cities.
