A map of the Republic of Colombia (1819-1831), a state that covered much of northern South America after independence from the Spanish [Empire](https://www.worldhistory.org/empire/), by Agostino Codazzi, 1840. The map depicts the Republic of Colombia divided into 12 administrative departments in 1824.
This historical state is widely refered to as 'Gran Colombia' in order to differentiate it from the current Republic of Colombia, which shares the same name.
