A massive fortress overlooking the city from the hill of San Lazaro, this 17th century castle is a must visit place in Cartagena.
Named after the Spanish king Phlip IV, this grand castle is an architectural marvel. The castle's triangular and a wide network of strategically placed tunnels, made it unassailable. The formidable castle is considered to be Spain's greatest defence structure built in any of its colonies. Some of the tunnels are open to public and audio tours are available for those who wish to learn more about the architectural features.
