See AllLa Torre del Reloj de Cartagena de Indias The Puerta del Reloj (pronounced [ˈpweɾta ðel reˈlox]), Torre del Reloj (pronounced [ˈtore ðel reˈlox]) or Boca del Puente (pronounced [ˈboka ðel ˈpwente]) is the main city gate of the historic center of Cartagena de Indias, in Colombia and the original entrance of the fortified city. It is located between the squares Plaza de Independencia and Plaza de los Coches. The name "Puerta del Reloj" responds to the clock with which it was crowned at the beginning of the 18th century. While the name of Boca del Puente is due to the fact that during the colonial period, a drawbridge was raised at the foot of the channel of San Anastasio, which linked the walled city to the legendary Getsemaní neighborhood. In addition the bridge served like defense of the city, since in case of enemy attack, this one was raised to prevent the access of buccaneers and pirates.Also the gate was protected by the bastions of San Pedro Apóstol (now disappeared) and the one of San Juan Bautista.It has a Postclassic style in its facade, precursory of those that advocated the treaties on fortification of second half of 18th century. The Puerta del Reloj is the work of the Spanish military engineer Juan de Herrera y Sotomayor, founder of the Cartagena Academy, and its style recalls the facade of the main church of the Monasterio de San Francisco in the Colonial City of Santo Domingo. In fact both gates present a half-point Roman arch, flanked by two pairs of Tuscan columns, and the same entablature with a frieze decorated with triglyphs.For the connoisseurs, this gate is one of the most successful works of the Spanish-American Fortification School and possibly one of the best preserved in the New World, as it strictly complies with the opinions of the Vauban school.Among the locals this gate is known as Boca del Puente, but for non-natives of Cartagena it is simply the Puerta del Reloj.Hotel Casona del Porvenir Our sister hotel, where our guest can use too.Gold Museum 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.Inquisition Museum 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.[3]Restaurante bar Vuelo Tropical bar restaurant, a place where you can find flavors from the world in a small but well-curated menu as well as a drinks menu with notes of the tropics. It is a perfect place to eat several dishes from the menu in the center of the table.Free walking tour This is a panoramic walking tour, we don’t visit museums.We start in Plaza Santa Teresa with an introduction to the history of Cartagena, then we visit the following Squares:San Pedro ClaverLa AduanaThe Clock towerPlaza de la ProclamaciónThe CathedralSimon BolivarSanto DomingoPlaza de la MercedDuring this walking tour we talk about Piracy, Slavery, Independence, Balconies, Colonial Houses etc.Everyday at 10:00 AM Language: EnglishDuration: 2 hour
