This is a must see. Although they did not have a lot of artefacts it is still a place that I recommend you visit. Besides visiting a fort that has a lot of history during the British colonization in the Caribbean to the fighting off of the pirates, the views from there are amazing.

The last stop on an old city tour and it was worth the wait. Nice history and done great views of Cartagena, both old city and new. Several tunnels to walk through but few displays.

30,000COP to enter, expensive by Colombian standards but cheaper entrance for locals. A fort of its times, 16c , unsurprisingly similar in style to those in Spain and Portugal from the same era. Very substantial, very impressive, plenty of room for a stroll around even if it got busy, which it wasn't when we were there. Great views in all directions, several tunnels to explore inside the structure, just don't enter with large groups, very narrow tunnels.

The fort is an impressive structure with fantastic views over Cartagena. We enjoyed walking through the underground passageways in particular. However, we wanted to know more about its history and there's very little interpretation available (even in Spanish), unless you're especially interested in canons. We'd heard we could hire an audio-guide in English, but this wasn't available at the ticket office unfortunately. Worth visiting for a short visit for the views, but it could be so much more

We visited here as part of a cruise ship excursion. It’s a very popular place and the first thing you will see is lots of street vendors. To be fair, they were not aggressive or pushy - one “Non gracias” or even a shake of the head would work - although you would have ti repeat this quite often given the sheer numbers involved. It’s a fair climb ti the top but the views over the old city and across to the new city are well worth it. It’s a very popular tourist area.

It is absolutely possible to walk to the Castillo from Old Town, maybe a 20-25 minute jaunt. Great views. History not maximized, just wander on your own. Take a flashlight as tunnels are DARK!

Great way to experience the history of the city. Be sure to go early or in the evening before close to avoid the hot temperatures of mid day. Check out the underground tunnels as they provide a cool shady space to take a break and also are just cool to walk through.

You could cover the entire castle in less than an hour (depending on your fitness level). The way up is steep but once you’re up there, you’ll have amazing views of the city and could take pictures with the big Colombian flag 🇨🇴. The tunnels were fun, definitely not for the claustrophobics, but try them out! There’s a souvenir shop with drinks and ice cream at the top but bring bottled water with you on the way up, you’ll need it.

Try to time your visit (60-90 minutes) to a cooler part of the day. Pace yourself walking up inclines. Tunnels are interesting to explore. Snack bar and small gift shop will catch your attention. Visit a must for any one interest in history.

Great place to visit and walk around. Beautiful views and interesting history. You can get there by doing the city tour hop in and out, or any other way. Definitively worth a visit. It is a nice area to walk around during the day.
