Castillo Marroquín (Marroquín Castle) is a palace built in 1898, located on the grounds of the Hacienda El Castillo in the La Caro sector in Chía, Cundinamarca, Colombia. It owes its name to the fact that it is located on the land that was part of the estate of former president José Manuel Marroquín.
