The Castillo de San Felipe is the greatest fortress ever built by the Spaniards in any of their colonies. It still dominates an entire section of Cartagena's city landscape. The original fort was commissioned in 1630 and was quite small. The construction began in 1657 on top of the 40m-high San Lázaro hill. In 1762 an extensive enlargement was undertaken, which resulted in the entire hill being covered over with this powerful bastion.

It was truly impregnable and was never taken, despite numerous attempts to storm it. A complex system of tunnels connected strategic points of the fortress to distribute provisions and to facilitate evacuation. The tunnels were constructed in such a way that any noise reverberated all the way along them, making it possible to hear the slightest sound of the approaching enemy's feet, and also making it easy for internal communication.

The Walking Tour takes place within the walled city, a construction that took 194 years to be completed and enabled Cartagena to defend itself from the attacks from pirates.

The Spanish colonial architecture is one of the most impressive and best preserved in South America with its imposing merchant’s houses, narrow streets, flower bedecked balconies, stunning civic buildings and beautiful churches.

It includes: transportation service, tickets for the monuments, English speaking guide.
