Inside, the building houses notable decorative elements and artwork that reflect the city’s rich cultural heritage.

2. Plaza de San Francisco
From there, continue to the lively Plaza San Francisco, one of the city’s most well-known squares and a traditional gathering place for locals.

The ruins stand as a powerful reminder of Cartagena’s complex past.
