Itinerary

Plaza de San Pedro Claver

Passing by

For the church of San Pedro Claver, in contrast to the surrounding decor, beauty does not rhyme with color. Both sober and severe, this religious building was built between 1700 and 1756 by a group of Jesuits.
Plaza de la Aduana

Passing by

In size and age, no one can steal the show at Plaza de la Aduana. Initially, it occupied the central place of Cartagena. This explains why many administrative and government buildings once took up residence on its outskirts.
Stop 3

Passing by

It is almost logical that as close to the sea, you meet the Naval Museum of Cartagena. It doesn’t seem like it, but this great cultural space is one of the best places to learn and recreate the city’s past.
Stop 4

Passing by

Colonial in style and preceded by an imposing baroque coral gate, the Palace of the Inquisition does not have too much trouble escalating among the most beautiful buildings of the city. But, like anything that may seem beautiful from afar, this building turns out to be far from beautiful when you look at its not-so-innocent past.
Stop 5

Passing by

If there’s one Attraction that no one wants to miss when visiting Cartagena’s historic centre, it’s the Cathedral of Santa Catalina. At the same time, let's be honest, it's almost impossible to turn a blind eye to her, as we can see her from afar.
Plaza Santo Domingo

Passing by

Coming to Plaza Santo Domingo is to set foot in one of the most popular places in Cartagena. Named after the church that is held in one of its three corners, this public space never lacks animation.
Walled City of Cartagena

Passing by

Classic among the classics, getting a nice viewpoint from the city walls is 99% safe. There is no doubt that the height effect, more or less important, has something to do with it.
Walled City of Cartagena

Passing by

Whether you’re walking along them or walking along them, the walls of Cartagena are among the must-sees of the walk. Firstly, they help us enjoy the sea breeze and secondly they give us privileged access to the best sunsets in the city.
Teatro Adolfo Mejia ( Teatro Heredia )

Passing by

With its pastel color, candy pink, and old-fashioned lettering, the Heredia Adolfo Mejía theatre surprises anyone who comes across it with its singular beauty. Built in 1911, on the occasion of the first centenary of Cartagena’s independence, the building presents an Italian style with Caribbean influences, restored twice in 1970 and 1988.
Cartagena

Passing by

The one now known as Cartagena das Indias was originally the land of the Calamarí, an Amerindian tribe whose name means People of the Sea. In 1533 Pedro de Heredia, Castilian conquistador, landed on the mainland and founded the city.
Las Bovedas

Passing by

1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and you climb like this to 47 arches? Then it’s all right, you are well next to Las Bóvedas. Built between 1792 and 1796, this interminable building is considered the last colonial structure of the fortified perimeter of Cartagena.
Cartagena

Passing by

If there’s one thing to do or redo in Cartagena, it’s adorn yourself with your best pair of walking shoes and walk the straight streets of the historic center. Former stronghold of the colonial upper bourgeoisie, this kind of large village, inside the ramparts, delights in no time anyone who approaches it.
Stop 13

Passing by

In Cartagena, like almost everywhere else in South America, there is a name that is very often likely to come back to your ears. It is that of Simón Bolívar.
Universidad de Cartagena

Passing by

You take a picture of her in all directions, you come to her door to contemplate her head upside down, you look for the best perspective that will highlight her, whether from the front, from the back, or from the side...
Plaza De Los Coches

Passing by

Served on the one hand by the Torre del Reloj and on the other by the Portal de los Dulces, Plaza de los Coches is the living heart of Cartagena. Over the years, but especially the events of all kinds it has received, this public space has more than once seen its name evolve.
Stop 16

Passing by

Centenario Park is the “green” border between the Getsemaní and San Diego neighborhoods and is Cartagena’s prime location for isolating yourself from the urban turmoil. Its inauguration in 1911, when it had not even been completed for lack of funds, was part of the commemoration of the first centenary of the city’s independence as a former Spanish colony.
Stop 17

Passing by

Added to all the walls of the old town, the castle San Felipe de Barajas, which can be seen in the distance, represents the largest Spanish fortification ever built in the “Americas”. In other words, it is an obligatory point of interest when staying in the Colombian city.
Stop 18

Passing by

Situated away from the walled city, the Getsemaní district is no less interesting. Under Spanish rule, it was in this perimeter that a large part of the slaves, forcibly brought back from West Africa, settled before being sold to the port of Cartagena.
Parque de la Marina

Passing by

From time to time, it is advisable to step back or take steps aside to find another aesthetic facet of a destination. That’s how it is, you must dare to detour! Bringing you right into the middle of the marina, our intention was very thoughtful: to take you up a notch the desire to get to know Cartagena, starting by guessing its riches.
Torre del Reloj

Passing by

Boca del Puente, Puerta del Reloj, Torre del Reloj are all names given to this inseparable Attraction of Cartagena. Built in the 18th century by a military engineer, the 30-metre-high monument was once the only gateway to the walled city.
Portal de Los Dulces

Passing by

To all those concerned about their line or dental health, we apologize in advance, but this gourmet address is a key step in the discovery of Cartagena. Historically reserved for the slave trade during the colonial era, the arches under which you wander today have become the place where visitors’ and locals’ palaces delight in the best confectionery in the Caribbean.
