Highlights
Without a doubt, in the Heroic Cartagena, remains the moorish architectonic legacy brought from the south of Spain; and we can state that this one is the richest legacy in America. Today, with the help of a specialized guide, you can still see the formal elements that constitute this architecture. By the end of this tour we will conclude the city is a domestic arquitecture compendium: the houses with the balconies and their hallways, their inner yards and wells, etc; Civil Architecture: the goverment buildings of the time located usually in front of a square; militar architecture such as the city walls and forts; the troops quarter and strongholds, etc; and the imponent religious architecture: monasteries, convents, churches, etc. In this architecture a overlapping of styles happended, the republican over the colonial, which brings us to conclude that architecture in Cartagena is prominently Eclectic.

About Cartagena
Cartagena, on Colombia's Caribbean coast, is a walled colonial port of flower-draped balconies, colourful plazas and warm, music-filled evenings.
The walled old city, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a maze of cobbled streets and squares lined with pastel houses, churches and bougainvillea. The Clock Tower gate leads into Plaza de los Coches, and the cathedral, the Church of San Pedro Claver and the Palace of the Inquisition are all within a few blocks. Walking the thick ramparts at sunset is a local ritual.
Top-ranked sights in Cartagena: Rosario Islands (Islas del Rosario), Old Town Cartagena, Santo Domingo Church (Iglesia de Santo Domingo).
