Things To Do
Centro Historico
Cartagena’s historic city center, encircled by colonial architecture and accessed through the majestic Clock Tower (Torre del Reloj), feels like a living masterpiece. Highlighted by the BBC as one of the world’s most beautiful clock towers, the Torre del Reloj, built in 1631, serves as the grand entrance to Cartagena’s most enchanting area. The city walls are truly awe-inspiring stretching 11 kilometers, they are grand and commanding from a distance, and even more striking up close. These fortifications have protected the city for centuries and remain one of its most iconic features. But perhaps the greatest treasure of Cartagena is its people warm, welcoming, and gracious hosts. Locals are always ready to help and will gladly walk alongside you to guide you to your destination.
Palacio de la Inquisicion
One of the most prominent colonial-era buildings, the Palacio de la Inquisición was used to judge and condemn enemies of the Church. Today, visitors can explore its historic halls and view original torture instruments, documents, and paintings from the Inquisition.
Castillo de San Felipe
Venture into the mysterious tunnels of Castillo de San Felipe, a formidable fortress built by the Spanish in the 16th century to defend the city from pirate attacks. Its imposing presence and hidden pathways make it one of Cartagena’s most impressive landmarks.
Cuartel de Las Bovedas
Once a 17th-century military barracks used for storing ammunition, the Cuartel de Las Bóvedas is now a vibrant marketplace filled with handicrafts and souvenirs. Located between the Fuerte de Santa Clara and Fuerte de Santa Catalina, its colonial beauty is undeniable.
Plazas
Each plaza in Cartagena exudes its own charm, inviting moments of reflection and leisure. Plaza de San Diego, with its bohemian atmosphere, sits between the Sofitel Legend Santa Clara Hotel and the School of Fine Arts.
