The Vice Presidential House it is the official residence of the vice president of Colombia. Located in the La Candelaria area of Bogotá, D.C., it is sometimes informally known as the Casa de la Vicepresidencia. The house was built in 1999 to provide the Vice President with an official residence. Vice President Gustavo Bell was the first to live there, after Congress determined that it would be easier and cheaper to provide security at a government residence and authorized its construction in 1999, making it the first official residence of the Vice President.
Although the official residence of the Vice President, the Vice Presidential House, was made available to him in 1999, all vice presidents have resided there. In 2023, Vice President Francia Márquez used it primarily for official receptions, as she had a secure residence in Dapa, Cauca Valley.
