Francisco José de Caldas
Francisco José de Caldas was a Colombian scientist, geographer, and patriot who played a significant role in the early struggle for Colombian independence. He is celebrated for his contributions to the fields of natural history and geography, as well as for his fervent opposition to Spanish colonial rule. Tragically, Caldas was executed on orders from Pablo Morillo, making him a martyr for the cause of independence and a symbol of the fight against oppression in Colombia.
