Las Bovedas, situated at the northeastern corner of Cartagena’s old walled city, is a historic site that now thrives with vibrant activity. Dozens of archways line the area, stretching from Santa Clara to the Santa Catalina Fortress. These arches, once part of the city’s defensive architecture, now house an array of souvenir shops, jewelry stores, small bars, and galleries. Visitors can explore the narrow, arched spaces, browse for unique mementos, and enjoy a drink or two while taking in the lively atmosphere. The blend of history and modern commerce makes Las Bovedas a distinctive and engaging destination.
