Plaza de San DiegoThe Refuge of Nobles & Rebellious Nuns We begin in this lively square, once home to Cartagena’s wealthy merchants. Nearby stands the Santa Clara Hotel, once a convent full of forbidden love stories and eerie legends. Some say a nun was buried alive within these walls, inspiring García Márquez’s novel Of Love and Other Demons.

Plaza Fernandez MadridShadows of Independence This peaceful square hides scars of Colombia’s fight for freedom. José Fernández de Madrid, a poet and independence leader, dreamed of a liberated Cartagena. But betrayal lurked in the shadows, and not all heroes received the glory they deserved.

A witness to passionate speeches and libertarian celebrations, Plaza de la Proclamación stands as a monument to bravery and revolutionary spirit. A place where the echo of the past blends with the present, recalling the struggle for autonomy and the forging of a nation.

Plaza de la AduanaGold, Slaves & Colonial Secrets Governors once celebrated their victories here, while in the shadows, enslaved people were auctioned like goods. The wealth of Cartagena came at a great human cost—stories that still linger in these grand colonial buildings.
-
Camellon de los MartiresThe Gate to Honor & Doom The Clock Tower Gate was the grand entrance to Cartagena—for merchants, travelers, and prisoners alike. Outside, in the Camellón de los Mártires, revolutionaries were executed in the fight for independence. Their names remain etched in Cartagena’s history.

Here, you’ll enjoy a cold, revitalizing drink, soaking in the lively energy of the neighborhood. Once a refuge for artisans and revolutionaries, Getsemaní is now Cartagena’s cultural heartbeat, filled with street art, music, and stories waiting to be told.

A perfect pause before we dive deeper into Getsemaní’s colorful streets!
