Convento de la Popa
The hilltop convent combines a panorama of Cartagena and its bay with a religious building founded by Augustinian Recollects in 1606. Its altar and paintings reward looking beyond the viewpoint.

From the convent’s hilltop, the city’s peninsula, bay and outlying neighborhoods become easier to read as one landscape. Inside, the early seventeenth-century religious building holds an altar decorated with gold leaf and oil paintings. The climb is best treated as a separate excursion from the center; the monastery and viewpoint together make the trip worthwhile.
