Just outside the walled city, and near Charleston Santa Teresa, you can find the Fortress of San Felipe de Barajas, one of the most impressive sites in the city of Cartagena. Built in the 17th century by Spanish colonizers, this fortress provides tourists a gateway to the past when visiting its interior full of tunnels, galleries, slopes and traps, all with the purpose of protecting the fort from potential intruders.

Other attractions that the city offers include the Convent of La Popa, which provides visitors with the best view of Cartagena from its privileged location at the top of a mountain and the statue of the India Catalina, a figure that renders tribute to the Caribbean culture and is the current face of the International Film Festival.
