Context

Cartagena brings together fortifications, squares, convents and houses that speak of colonial trade, history and the disputes over the Caribbean. But the city goes beyond the walled enclosure: Getsemaní, Bazurto and its neighborhoods show a contemporary Cartagena made of music, kitchens, art and everyday life. Exploring it with context lets you admire its architecture without separating the beauty from the people and memories that sustain it.
