The Sanctuary of Saint Peter Claver is an iconic Catholic church in the heart of Cartagena de Indias' historic center, facing the plaza of the same name. Built during the colonial era, it combines a church and a museum within a single cloister, featuring tranquil courtyards, stone archways, and exhibits on religious art and human rights. Here, the memory of Saint Peter Claver, a 17th-century Jesuit renowned for his advocacy for enslaved people, is honored. It is an ideal place to escape the hustle and bustle of the walled city, explore its rooms, admire its architecture, and connect with Cartagena's rich history. Restrooms are available for visitors.
