The Largest Colonial Fortress

Built in the 17th century, El Castillo de San Felipe in Cartagena is massive, imposing and a testament to the city’s rich past and importance. As the seat of colonial power, trade and wealth, Cartagena was a constant target and this fort was meant to act as the last line of defence against overseas powers and pirates 🏴‍☠️ ⠀ Declared a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1984, you can wander through the fortress and it’s maze of small underground tunnels or, you know, pretend to be a pirate who’s overtaken the fort and is firing up the cannons 🤷🏻‍♀️ Find it: Castillo de San Felipe, Cartagena de Indias, Colombia #createwithtrip
