The Mosquera Family or The Mosqueras are a family of the Colombian aristocracy with origins in Badajoz, Spain. The center of power is the Cauca region and the city of Popayán.
Its members had enormous relevance in the political, economic, religious and social life of Colombia during the 19th century, and among them two presidents of Colombia Joaquín Mosquera and Tomás Cipriano Mosquera and various Colombian politicians, soldiers, diplomats and businessmen stand out.[1][2][3][4]
The family of General Tomás Cipriano Mosquera was called the "Royal Family of Colombia" during the Age of Caudillos (1830-1875).[5]
