- Castillo de San Felipe de Barajas - Castillo San Felipe de Barajas is a historic fortification situated in Cartagena de Indias, Colombia. It stands on a hill known as San Lazarus. Constructed in 1657 during the Spanish colonial period, it endured frequent assaults from the English and French, with the French commander Baron de Pointis capturing the castle in mid-1697.
- La Popa Convent - As travelers approach Cartagena by land, sea, or air, the first sight is a mountain range or small hill, with its highest point reaching 148 meters above sea level, known as La Popa de La Galera. Upon entering the convent, visitors are captivated by the grandeur of the central courtyard and the robust columns and walls, designed to withstand attacks and bombings. The church is dedicated to the purification of the Virgin or Candlemas, named after the candles blessed in her honor on February 2, a day of celebration. No festivity in Cartagena, whether civic or religious, matches the splendor of the Candelaria de la Popa festival. The large crowds that gather for the solemn procession on February 2, from the sanctuary of La Popa to the city center, are unparalleled in any other popular gathering.
- Las Bovedas - This significant monument, once a residential building for soldiers during colonial times, has now been transformed into the finest handicraft shopping mall in Cartagena de Indias. Here, visitors can admire local and national handicrafts, as well as gold and silver jewelry adorned with Colombian emeralds.
- Walled City of Cartagena - A 30-minute walking tour through the walled city promises an unforgettable experience, as the old city is encircled by historic walls.
- Monumento a los Zapatos Viejos - Cartagena poet Luis Carlos Lopez wrote a poem titled “My Hometown,” expressing his love for his old shoes as much as his hometown.
- Playa de Bocagrande - A sightseeing tour of the new city offers a chance to appreciate Cartagena Bay, as well as the Bocagrande and Castillogrande neighborhoods.
