What to expect
The Clock Tower, an iconic symbol of Cartagena, is the main gateway to the walled city. Built in the 17th century, this yellow neoclassical structure is a historical and cultural landmark. With its elegant clock and imposing architecture, the Clock Tower marks the transition between the vibrant Getsemaní neighborhood and the charming Historic Center, making it the ideal starting point for exploring Cartagena's rich history.
Just past the Clock Tower, this square was once a slave market and is now surrounded by colorful colonial buildings, cafes, and shops. It is a central point in the heart of Cartagena.
The largest square in the city, surrounded by majestic colonial buildings. This was the site of the Casa de la Aduana, the seat of the colonial government, and today it is a space for cultural events.
Plaza de San Pedro Claver
Dedicated to the "Apostle of the Slaves", Saint Peter Claver, this square houses the church of the same name and a statue in honor of the saint who dedicated his life to the protection of African slaves.
Catedral Santa Catalina de Alejandria
One of the oldest churches in America, this majestic cathedral is a stunning example of colonial architecture and a place full of history and spirituality.
(Panoramic Visit) This colonial building with a baroque façade was the center of operations of the Spanish Inquisition in Cartagena. Today it houses a museum that explores this dark part of history.
Built as military depots and prisons, these structures today house craft and souvenir shops, offering a unique experience within the city walls.
Plaza de La Trinidad
The heart of the Getsemaní neighborhood, this square is famous for its bohemian and vibrant atmosphere. Surrounded by bars and restaurants, it is a perfect place to immerse yourself in local life.
Barrio Getsemani
This narrow alley is famous for its colorful murals and banners that hang between the houses. It is an example of the urban art that defines Getsemaní, filling the streets with life and color.
