Cartagena, Spain
In the days when pirates and adventurers like Sir Francis Drake sailed the seas in search of the gold of El Dorado, the Spanish colonial port city of Cartagena was a favored destination. Today, it is a modern and bustling seaport and commercial center, rich in history, culture, and magnificent Spanish architecture.
Fort Bocachica
This mighty fortress along with the grand Castillo de San Felipe de Barajas attest to a time when Cartagena Bay was awash with swashbucklers who needed fending off.
La Popa Monastery
Ascend the city's tallest hill to the magnificent La Popa Monastery, where you'll enjoy a spectacular view of the harbor with its unique mix of ancient forts and modern hotels and high-rises.
Church of San Pedro
Inside the walls of the old city is the gracefully ornate Church of San Pedro Claver, built in 1603 and later dedicated to the patron saint of Columbia.
