Piazza Santo Domingo
City Center, Cartagena, Colombia
Description:
The square is one of the most attractive tourist places in the city. Life in the square boils day and night.
The main attraction of the square is the church of Santo Domingo. Built in 1539, the church is the oldest temple in Cartagena. There is a beautiful local legend about her. It is said that the devil was so dissatisfied with the construction of this church that he personally appeared to distort its appearance. As you can see, he failed.
Near the church is a sculpture of a lying woman. It was created by the famous Colombian artist Fernando Botero. This is also one of the attractions of the square, near which tourists like to take pictures.
There are many summer cafes on the square, where the music of local street musicians is heard day and night.
