Representative symbol of Cartagena, Torre del Reloj is a 19th century clock tower serving as main entrance gate to the old city.
Anyone who is planning a trip to Cartagena mush have definitely come across this bright yellow republican style clock tower. The clock tower connects the two sides of the old walled city. As soon as you enter through the gate, you are greeted by a statue of city's founder Pedro de Heredia, and a bustling plaza which used to be a slave market once. Mansions with colonial balconies and a sweet market offering mix of Spanish and African flavours awaits you as you enter through the gates of Torre del Reloj.
