Los murales inteligentes que embellecen a Mompox
Mompox, la joya colonial a orillas del Magdalena, no deja de reinventarse. A su aire tranquilo, sus calles empedradas y su memoria viva se suma ahora un proyecto que combina tecnología, arte y memoria histórica: Mompox Inteligente, una iniciativa que busca transformar la ciudad patrimonial en un territorio conectado, moderno y al mismo tiempo orgulloso de su pasado.
