Culture
Just outside Cartagena, you’ll find the beautiful village of San Basilio de Palenque, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
San Basilio de Palenque’s influence on Cartagena can be seen in the brightly colored dresses worn by Afro-Colombian women selling fruit. Apart from the beautiful and indigenous way of life woven into the modern world, this village is also the first settlement of independent slaves in the Americas.
History from Old to New
Built by the Spanish as the largest slave port in the Americas, Cartagena’s port has evolved over time to become one of the busiest ports in the Caribbean Sea.
The old town fort walls stand as a testament to Cartagena’s tumultuous past. The walls were once used to offer protection from Francis Drake and their cannons are still intact.
For any history buffs, the city of Cartagena is thriving with old world hints intertwined with today’s modern experiences.
