In the historic center of the heroic city, is the Simón Bolívar Park or Plaza, one of the oldest urban parks in the city. Like many places in the city, this park has received different names over time depending on the different buildings that surround it. The place where this park is located is one of the most interesting in the city because the park is the center of a small area with several of the most emblematic buildings of the city, from the cathedral of Saint Catherine of Alexandria, the palace of the inquisition, the zenu gold museum, and others.

Torre del Reloj (Pass by)

Camellon de los Martires (Pass by)
The Camellón de los Mártires is one of the most emblematic sites related to the emancipation of Cartagena de Indias (1810-1821), one of the most outstanding political events of the former Viceroyalty of New Granada, when the Republic of Colombia, today, was a colony of the Spanish empire.
Parque del Centenario (Pass by)

Getsemaní, the corner of Cartagena that, according to Forbes magazine, an international expert publication in business and finance, is the fourth coolest neighborhood in the world after the town of Sants, in Barcelona; Navy Yard, in Washington and Amsterdam Noord, in Amsterdam. “Anchored in Plaza Trinidad, a lively public square, Getsemaní is not yet completely gentrified and is inhabited by families who have lived in the same house for multiple generations,” notes in one of its sections the Forbes article titled 'The 12 Neighborhoods coolest in the world'. In the exclusive list, Getsemaní surpasses cosmopolitan settings such as Maboneng, in Johannesburg; the Old Town in Panama City and Pilsen in Chicago (USA), among twelve other destinations.
Calle de la Sierpe (Pass by)
The legend of this street is impressive to know how the neighbors of that time commented on the noise of something crawling and carrying a bell, but no one looked out. In 1608 the mayor dedicated himself to watching the street and that is how he discovered a giant rattlesnake crawling around.
Plaza de La Trinidad (Pass by)
Its name is due to the church of the Holy Trinity, founded in 1643 and located in the square. Some time later, the Cabildo decided that it would be called “Liberty Square” in honor of the inhabitants of the Getsemaní neighborhood who allowed and supported the independence feat of 1811. It is currently the epicenter of Cartagena's nightlife, where natives and tourists gather to chat, enjoy the sale of fast food, participate in aerobics and Zumba workouts, or to delight in the talent of artists who perform in the square. . A night in the Plaza de la Trinidad is recommended for those looking for a quiet plan with friends or meeting new people.
Plaza del Pozo (Pass by)
This square is iconic for having been the scene of fatal confrontations between the inhabitants of “Arsenal Street” and those of “Barahona Beach Street”, in addition to this, this square was the starting point of the parties held by the Getsemanicenses in which, through public fandangos and a large decorated float accompanied by music, they transported the most beautiful young women whom they called “goddesses.”
