Monumento Torre del Reloj

This felt like main entrance to the old city. We really enjoyed our cruise port day exploring the old city. Negotiating deals with street vendors. Eating bites of food here and there. It was a wonderful day.

I super recommend this place as well as the restaurants and bars around this monument , specially the roof tops. There you can enjoy of some fantastic panoramic views while you enjoy just a drink or a special dinner. Cartagena is a little pricey $$ so always check the prices on your menu before you order and definitely be ready to spend $$.

This a vibrant and revitalized area in Cartagena, possibly the historic center or a popular tourist spot. The efforts to enhance safety and restore the streets have clearly made a positive impact, making it a more welcoming environment for visitors. The local stalls offering trinkets, clothes, and Colombian candies add a charming touch, giving tourists a chance to experience authentic local culture. If you're planning to visit or share this place with others, it seems like it's a great time to explore and enjoy everything it has to offer!

This place was great! So much to see, so much to eat, so many activities!!! The only reason I didn't give it a 5 star was because there is just too much hard asks for money. It was overwhelming when you're looking for particular things and trying to buy those items and you're being stopped at every step to ask for money, donations, purchase. I do get it's an open market but it can be overwhelming.

Lots of food, lots of people it's very nice to get in, there are more tourist places near this area, and at night it looks much prettier.

The structure is part of the city's fortifications, which historically served to protect against invasions. The area around the tower is lively, with pedestrian traffic and nearby attractions. The tower is also known as the Puerta del Reloj (Clock Gate) and is a symbol of Cartagena's rich history.

We stayed inside the walled city and passed this square a few times to go to bars and restaurants. It’s a lively area with street vendors and surrounded by shops and restaurants. Pretty to see in the night and in the day.

Big place Entrance to the ancient city Many street vendors … not a quiet place
