Free Tour to San Felipe de Barajas Castle Colombia — #1
1/10

Overview of the tour in Cartagena, Colombia

Discover the fascinating history of Cartagena in one of the best historical tours through the fortification of the San Felipe Castle, an experience that will transport you to the intense battles between European powers in our land. Explore the castle through canyons, tunnels, bridges, ramps, stairs and even a hospital that witnessed crucial moments. This exciting 2.5 hour tour will take you through the strategic construction of the fortress on the San Lazaro hill, offering a breathtaking panoramic view of our beautiful city.

The Castillo de San Felipe was subjected to several sieges and attacks. One of the most notable was during the famous Siege of Cartagena in 1741, when British forces attempted to capture the city and were successfully repelled. The defense of the castle during this siege is considered a historical landmark and a testament to its robust defensive structure. One of the most intriguing aspects of the castle today is its intricate system of subway tunnels.

  • Plaza de la Trinidad
