Description
House in in Cartagena or Cartagena de Indias. A city on the northern coast of Colombia in the Caribbean Coast Region and capital of the Bolivar Department. The port city is the fifth-largest city in Colombia.
The city was founded on June 1, 1533, and named after Cartagena, Spain. However, settlement in this region around Cartagena Bay by various indigenous people dates back to 4000 BC. During the colonial period Cartagena served a key role in administration and expansion of the Spanish empire. It was a center of political and economic activity due to the presence of royalty and wealthy viceroys. Cartagena is the city most associated with pirates in the Caribbean, and the world. In 1984 Cartagena's colonial walled city and fortress were designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Proceeds from the sale of this photograph goes to help orphaned and abandoned children in Colombia South America.
