About Cartagena

Cartagena, en la costa caribeña de Colombia, es un puerto colonial amurallado de balcones floridos, plazas coloridas y cálidas noches de música.

La ciudad vieja amurallada, Patrimonio de la Humanidad de la UNESCO, es un laberinto de calles empedradas y plazas bordeadas de casas pastel, iglesias y buganvillas. La puerta de la Torre del Reloj conduce a la Plaza de los Coches, y la catedral, la iglesia de San Pedro Claver y el Palacio de la Inquisición están todos a pocas manzanas. Caminar por las gruesas murallas al atardecer es un ritual local.

Top-ranked sights in Cartagena: Rosario Islands (Islas del Rosario), Old Town Cartagena, Santo Domingo Church (Iglesia de Santo Domingo).
