About Carthagène
Carthagène, sur la côte caraïbe colombienne, est un port colonial fortifié de balcons fleuris, de places colorées et de soirées musicales.
La vieille ville fortifiée, inscrite au patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO, est un dédale de rues pavées et de places bordées de maisons pastel, d'églises et de bougainvilliers. La porte de la Tour de l'Horloge mène à la Plaza de los Coches, et la cathédrale, l'église San Pedro Claver et le palais de l'Inquisition sont tous à quelques pâtés de maisons. Marcher sur les épais remparts au coucher du soleil est un rituel local.
Top-ranked sights in Carthagène: Rosario Islands (Islas del Rosario), Old Town Cartagena, Santo Domingo Church (Iglesia de Santo Domingo).
