Cartagena De Indias Essentials

Cartagena de Indias is defined by its massive stone fortifications, including the seven-mile-long City Walls and the strategic San Felipe Castle. This collection highlights the city’s colonial architecture, from the historic Cathedral of Saint Catherine of Alexandria to the 300-year-old Santa Cruz Monastery perched on La Popa Hill. Visitors can explore significant public spaces like Plaza de la Aduana and the former military dungeons at Las Bovedas, now used for local crafts. The list also includes the Gold Museum's pre-Columbian artifacts and the white sands of Playa Blanca on the Caribbean coast.
