The Goranchacha Temple is an archaeological site on the northern edge of Tunja, on the campus of the Pedagogical and Technological University of Colombia. The Muisca confederation considered the spot sacred and built a ceremonial complex here; the foundations of several structures have been excavated, and a small open-air display interprets the remains and the legend of Goranchacha, the mythological Muisca chief said to have been born from a virgin and the sun.
The site is open during university hours and is free to visit. There is not a great deal to see — most of the original temple was destroyed by the Spanish — but together with the Cojines del Zaque and Hunzahúa Well it forms a useful trio for understanding pre-colonial Tunja. The university campus around it has a pleasant landscaped setting.
