Fortress Towering Over the City of Cartagena

Castle San Felipe de Barajas is an old fortress built in in the 1600’s for the Spanish. It towers over the city offering excellent views of the city skyline and the coast line. Inside there are various tunnels to explore, information boards dotted around and plenty of open space for meandering. The fortress is very close to the old town so you can see it and then take a walk for a coffee in one of the beautiful little streets there. I visited at 7am and there was nobody around which was nice. Price of entry was 30,000 COP.
