More About Medellin
Medellín (Spanish pronunciation: [meðeˈʝin] or [meðeˈʎin]; local pronunciation: [me̞.ðe̞ˈɟ͡ʝin]), officially the Municipality of Medellín (Spanish: Municipio de Medellín), is the second-largest city in Colombia and the capital of the department of Antioquia.

According to the National Administrative Department of Statistics, the city has an estimated population of 2.5 million as of 2017.

In 1826, the city was named the capital of the Department of Antioquia by the National Congress of the nascent Republic of Gran Colombia, comprised by present-day Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador and Panama.
