Like many countries in the continent, Colombia fell under the control of the Spaniards for much of its late history. In 1499, the Spaniards made Bogota, the capital of modern day Colombia, the center of a huge territory, the Viceroyalty of New Granada, also known as Gran Colombia. The territory was huge, encompassing the territories of modern-day Venezuela, Ecuador, and Panama.
After marriage, the ring is worn on the hand it had been placed on during the ceremony.
