Palace of the Inquisition
This colonial palace on Plaza de Bolívar now houses Cartagena’s history museum. Visit for the contrast between its formal architecture and exhibitions on the city’s difficult past.
Why go
The building lets you examine Cartagena’s civil architecture while confronting the history of the Inquisition in the city. Its museum displays give the former tribunal a wider context, so the visit offers more than a look at the palace façade.
What to look for
