Charming Cartagena
is one of the most fascinating towns in South America. The old city, almost
completely surrounded by lagoons, bays and the Caribbean Sea, is still girded by
its 17th-century fortifications. Once these guarded the gold and treasures of
the New World, bound for Spain; now they shelter ornate churches and convents,
the dramatic Palace of the Inquisition, and other historic gems. |
