Cartagena
Sightseeing
Palacio de la Inquisición
This building is one of the most notable historic constructions of the colonial era. Here is where enemies of the Catholic church were condemned, hence the many torture instruments, documents and paintings from the Inquisition era on display.
Castillo de San Felipe
Venture through the mysterious, hidden tunnels that run within this impressive fortress, built by the Spanish in the 15th century as a defense against the pirates.
Cuartel de Las Bóvedas
What were once military barracks is now a diverse and colorful market brimming with handicraft and souvenirs. Located between the Santa Clara and Santa Catalina forts, the colonial mystique of these 17th century vaults is undeniable.
Torre del Reloj
The BBC declared the Torre del Reloj as one of the “world’s most beautiful clock towers”, with due reason; this eminent structure, built in 1631, grants access to the historic city, known as the ‘walled city, the most charming part of Cartagena.
