The Nariño Family was a criollo, wealthy, noble family with Spanish origins.

The family brought together a circle of enlightened liberals. The Nariño home became a meeting place for liberals.[1] The family gave the greatest figure of the independence generation Antonio Nariño, precursor of Colombian independence and one of the founding fathers of Colombia.

Antonio's family was persecuted by the Peacemaker Pablo Morillo and the royalist reaction against the patriots. It can be said that they participated in the heroic life of Antonio and of many heroes of Independence and each of them contributed their share of courage, intrepidity and sacrifice to the same cause.

Especially highlight the figure of Lieutenant Colonel Antonio Nariño Ortega, who participated in all the battles and heroic actions including the Southern Campaign that would lead the Precursor to exile and imprisonment in Cadiz (Spain) for several years, thus running the risk of being arrested. and had the same luck as his father. Thus, he sacrificed his freedom and part of his life to the cause of Independence and occupies a prominent place in the Gallery of Heroes next to the Precursor Antonio Nariño.

Vicente Nariño Ortega, to whom Colombia owes the National Library together with its founder Manuel del Socorro Rodriguez, also enriched the nariñista lineage that his father bequeathed to him. In this way, he continued the Library of Nariño confiscated by the judge Mosquera y Figueroa in the house of the Mercado de las Yerbas and as an intellectual and bibliographer he took the first steps for the national library institution that culminated in the Luis angel arango library.[3]
