7 Sacred & Religious Sites in Cartagena That You Shouldn't Miss

May 10, 2022 Vivienne Hutton

Cartagena, a gorgeous fishing village on Colombia's Caribbean coast, has excellent beaches, a historic old town (that's entirely walkable) and beautiful colonial architecture. It's also one of the safest places in the country, so it's no wonder it's a popular port of call for cruise ships. Need a break from exploring the cobblestone streets? Stop at an outdoor cafe for excellent pastries and people-watching.

Templo de Santo Domingo

Reviewed By Visitante_Chileno - Santiago, Chile

Found this nice church, went inside for a quiet moment. Several people praying in the early afternoon; no service at that time. The church is elegant, not ornate.

La Popa Convent

Reviewed By Phillie_gal - Pinellas Park, United States

The drive up the winding road to the peak of Mount Popa is filled with great views with more to come upon arrival. The chapel and flower filled courtyard are worth seeing and a short visit as part of a city tour.
