Ted's Excellent Pictures Taken In Cartagena 2016 - 2017




Castillo San Felipe de Barajas
(named after King Philip IV of Spain)
Begun 1536, expanded 1657 & 1763





Views from another angle









   
Metropolitan Cathedral Basilica of Saint Catherine of Alexandria
The cathedral's construction ran from 1577 to 1612
(delayed by damage caused when Cartagena was sacked by Francis Drake in 1586)
The tower is from an early 20th century remodeling.
