🌍 Cartagena Was Once One of the Wealthiest Cities in the Americas
During the colonial era, Cartagena was a major port for Spanish treasure fleets transporting gold, silver, and enslaved Africans. Its wealth made it a constant target for pirates — which is why it’s surrounded by massive stone walls and forts like Castillo San Felipe de Barajas, the largest Spanish fort in the Americas.
🗣️ Palenquero — A Unique African-Spanish Creole Language — Is Still Spoken Nearby
In San Basilio de Palenque, just outside Cartagena, locals speak Palenquero, a rare creole language that blends Spanish with African languages. It’s one of the few surviving languages of its kind in the world and is recognized by UNESCO as part of the world's Intangible Cultural Heritage.
💃🏾 The City Celebrates Its Own Version of Carnival — "Fiestas de Independencia"
While Cartagena is not traditionally known for Carnival like Barranquilla, its Independence Festival in November is a vibrant, Afro-Caribbean celebration full of parades, music, dance, and traditional costumes. It commemorates Cartagena’s independence from Spain — it was the first Colombian city to declare it in 1811!
