Journey into the heart of Cartagena on this comprehensive adventure to the city’s iconic landmarks. Begin with a visit to San Felipe de Barajas Fortress. This fortress, built in the 17th century, is the largest example of Spanish military engineering in South America. Next, browse the fascinating artisan stalls at Las Bóvedas Artisan Center, a former dungeon. Then, explore the Inquisition Palace, the old headquarters of the Court of the Holy Inquisition. Learn about the sentencing ceremonies that once took place in public while viewing examples of torture chambers and jails used during the period. Step back in time on a stroll through the narrow, cobblestoned streets of Cartagena’s lively old town, visiting Saint Peter Claver’s Sanctuary, boasting exquisite statues and old-world furniture. Finally, you will have some free time to explore on your own before returning to the ship.
