Plaza de San Diego (Pass by)
Our meeting point!
Located in the San Diego area in the historic centre, San Diego Plaza is a resting place where people can eat and drink.
The Santa Clara hotel is located in this place and offers a high quality of accommodation service.
We also find the Higher School of Fine Arts in the old buildings of the San Diego convent that was built in 1608.
Plaza Santo Domingo (Pass by)
Plaza Santo Domingo is located in the heart of the old walled city of Cartagena and is one of the most famous squares in the city. The square is named after the Church of Santo Domingo which is located on one of its corners and is lined with charming colonial buildings.
Parque de Bolívar (Pass by)
In the historic centre of the heroic city, is the Simón Bolívar Park or Plaza, one of the oldest urban parks in the city. Like many places in the city, this park has received different names over time depending on the different buildings that surround it. The place where this park is located is one of the most interesting in the city because the park is the centre of a small area with several of the most emblematic buildings of the city, from the cathedral of Saint Catherine of Alexandria, the palace of the inquisition, the zenu gold museum, and others.
Plaza de San Pedro Claver (Pass by)
Religion is present with Saint Peter Claver, Slave of Slaves, we will see the Architecture of the Church and Museum-Monastery that bears his name and is the Headquarters of Human Rights.
Plaza de la Aduana (Pass by)
Historically, the process of marketing merchandise, including that of slaves, in the old "Customs Square" has been important. Here we will see important buildings such as the Municipal Hall.
Portal de Los Dulces (Pass by)
We continue to the Portal de Los dulce, a symbol of female activity in times of slavery and that their descendants still continue with their traditions.
Torre del Reloj (Pass by)
We move to the “Golden Key of Cartagena” or Clock Tower, entering the Plaza del Ecuador, before the Plaza del Esclavo, the anteroom to continue part of the slavery route through Porto Carrero and Candilejo streets. But first, Pedro de Heredía welcomes us.
Camellon de los Martires (Pass by)
The Camellón de los Mártires is one of the most emblematic sites related to the emancipation of Cartagena de Indias (1810-1821), one of the most outstanding political events of the former Viceroyalty of New Granada, when the Republic of Colombia, today, was a colony of the Spanish empire.
Parque del Centenario (Pass by)
Do you know sloths, squirrels, iguanas? Occasionally you can see them as we pass through one of the most important Lungs in Cartagena. Centenario Park, former Railway Station, which is a relic where we Cartagenans cool off under the shade of beautiful trees.
Barrio Getsemani
- 1h
Getsemaní, the corner of Cartagena that, according to Forbes magazine, an international expert publication in business and finance, is the fourth coolest area in the world after the town of Sants, in Barcelona; Navy Yard, in Washington and Amsterdam Noord, in Amsterdam. “Anchored in Plaza Trinidad, a lively public square, Getsemaní is not yet completely gentrified and is inhabited by families who have lived in the same house for multiple generations,” notes in one of its sections the Forbes article titled 'The 12 Areas coolest in the world'. In the exclusive list, Getsemaní surpasses cosmopolitan settings such as Maboneng, in Johannesburg; the Old Town in Panama City and Pilsen in Chicago (USA), among twelve other destinations.
Calle de la Sierpe (Pass by)
The legend of this street is impressive to know how the neighbors of that time commented on the noise of something crawling and carrying a bell, but no one looked out. In 1608 the mayor dedicated himself to watching the street and that is how he discovered a giant rattlesnake crawling around.
Plaza de La Trinidad (Pass by)
Its name is due to the church of the Holy Trinity, founded in 1643 and located in the square. Some time later, the Cabildo decided that it would be called “Liberty Square” in honour of the inhabitants of the Getsemaní area who allowed and supported the independence feat of 1811.
It is currently the epicentre of Cartagena's nightlife, where natives and tourists gather to chat, enjoy the sale of fast food, participate in aerobics and Zumba workouts, or to delight in the talent of artists who perform in the square. . A night in the Plaza de la Trinidad is recommended for those looking for a quiet plan with friends or meeting new people.
Plaza del Pozo (Pass by)
This square is iconic for having been the scene of fatal confrontations between the inhabitants of “Arsenal Street” and those of “Barahona Beach Street”, in addition to this, this square was the starting point of the parties held by the Getsemanicenses in which, through public fandangos and a large decorated float accompanied by music, they transported the most beautiful young women whom they called “goddesses.”
