Cartagena: The Caribbean Gem

Cartagena is a lovely and storied city situated on the Caribbean coast of Colombia. It is known for its walled Old Town, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The city is also home to a number of other popular tourist attractions, including the Castillo San Felipe de Barajas, the Cartagena Cathedral, and the Getsemani neighborhood. Cartagena was founded in 1533 by the Spanish conquistador Pedro de Heredia. The city quickly became an important trading port and a strategic military post. The walled Old Town was built in the 17th century to protect the city from pirate attacks. If you are looking for a lovely and storied city with something to offer everyone, Cartagena is the perfect destination for you.
