Historic Centre of Santa Cruz de Mompox in Cartagena

It was founded in 1540 on the banks of the River Magdalena. From the 16th to the 19th century the city developed parallel to the river, with the main street acting as a dyke. The historic centre has preserved the harmony and unity of the urban landscape. Most of the buildings are still used for their original purposes, providing an exceptional picture of what a Spanish colonial city was like, that means if you are a history fan you will definetly love this town!
