Info

The San Felipe de Barajas Castle is the quintessential historical landmark in Cartagena de Indias. Perched atop a hill in the Pie del Cerro neighborhood, this imposing 17th-century fortress invites you to explore its passageways and intricate tunnels, the setting for battles, pirates, and the colonial era. With audio guides available, you can gain a deeper understanding of Colombian history as you explore its walls, viewpoints, and underground galleries. It's advisable to bring a hat and sunscreen, and if you're prone to claustrophobia, choose only the larger tunnels. A must-see for experiencing Cartagena's rich history.
