About Cartagena

Cartagena, sulla costa caraibica della Colombia, è un porto coloniale fortificato di balconi fioriti, piazze colorate e calde serate di musica.

La città vecchia fortificata, Patrimonio dell'Umanità UNESCO, è un labirinto di strade acciottolate e piazze fiancheggiate da case color pastello, chiese e buganvillee. La porta della Torre dell'Orologio conduce in Plaza de los Coches, e la cattedrale, la chiesa di San Pedro Claver e il Palazzo dell'Inquisizione sono tutti a pochi isolati. Camminare sugli spessi bastioni al tramonto è un rito locale.

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