Rionegro is a town in the department of Antioquia, Colombia, east of Medellín. In 1863 a convention of the victorious Liberals met there and adopted the Rionegro Constitution, which created the federal United States of Colombia, with sovereign states and broad individual freedoms. It is now the site of Medellín's international airport.
