PALACE OF THE INQUISITION

---

 Add a powerful historical stop to your itinerary with a visit to the Palace of the Inquisition, one of Cartagena’s most iconic colonial landmarks. This 18th-century building once housed the Tribunal of the Holy Office and now serves as a museum showcasing the darker side of the city’s colonial past through original artifacts, documents, and religious art.

Stroll through its grand halls, view the preserved instruments of torture once used during inquisitorial trials, and admire the beautifully maintained colonial architecture. A must-visit for travelers looking to experience the cultural and historical depth of Cartagena beyond its beaches.
