The Palace of the Inquisition, also known as the Inquisition Palace, (Spanish: Palacio de la Inquisición, Spanish pronunciation: [paˈlasjo ðe lajŋkisiˈsjon]) is an eighteenth-century the seat of the Holy Office of the Inquisition in Cartagena, now in modern Colombia. Completed in 1770,[1] it currently serves as a museum showcasing historical artifacts. Among the many historical artifacts, the museum displays torture equipment used on victims during the inquisition. These items were removed from display in 2015 prior to visits to Colombia by Pope Francis. They have since partially returned and are again on display. The museum has been described as "one of the finer buildings" in Cartagena.[2] Cited as one of Cartagena's "best examples of late colonial, civil architecture", it faces the Parque de Bolívar.[

The Rosario Islands also referred to as Corales Islas del Rosario, are a cluster of islands located off the coast of Colombia, about 100 km from the city of Cartagena. The Islands are one of the forty-six National Parks in Colombia. There are so many excursion opportunities while exploring these islands. You can visit the Oceanary, which has all kinds of sea animals in their natural habitats such as sharks, giant sea turtles, tropical fish, and even a dolphin show. They offer a lot of different packages to tourists to choose from including all-day passes, guided tours, single boat rides or passes including certain excursions and dining.

This museum is like a miniature version of Bogotá's world-class gold museum, the Museo del Oro. Though small, it offers a fascinating collection of the gold and pottery of the Zenú (also known as Sinú) people, who inhabited the region of the present-day departments of Bolívar, Córdoba, Sucre and northern Antioquia before the Spanish Conquest. Some pieces are exquisitely detailed.

Enjoy nature in the National Aviary, where you will see up close 1,800 birds from 160 species, mostly from Colombia.

Situated on San Lázaro Hill, the Castillo de San Felipe de Barajas is a military fortress built in 1657 during the Spanish colonial era to defend the territory by land. It is known as "the impregnable" because, despite several attacks by the enemies of the Spanish crown, it was never captured. It is part of the Cultural Heritage of national interest, and in 1984, UNESCO included the 'Port, fortresses, and monumental ensemble of Cartagena de Indias' in the representative list of World Heritage Sites.

During your stay, you should definitely take advantage of the opportunity to learn about Cartagena’s architectural and cultural heritage, starting with a visit to the city’s historic center. Cartagena’s historic center, whose beauty and cultural importance caused it to be declared a World Heritage Site by Unesco in 1984, is surrounded by miles of ancient walls that form the walled city.
