COLOMBIA: Port, Fortresses and Group
of Monuments, Cartagena
Brief Description:
Situated in a bay in the Caribbean Sea, Cartagena has the most extensive
fortifications in South America. A system of zones divides the city
into three neighbourhoods: San Pedro, with the cathedral and many
Andalusian-style palaces; San Diego, where merchants and the middle
class lived; and Gethsemani, the 'popular quarter'.
