The Cabrero retreat - Cartagena de Indias
Built in
1885, the retreat del Cabrero of the Lady of Mercedes was
an initiative of Dona Sooldedad Roman in order to
accomplish a religious dream. We can visit close from the
Apolo park where is found the monument of Rafael
Nunez and also see the
house of Rafael Nunez on the
other side of the street.
The statue of Rafael Nunez was erected by Eduardo Lemaitre
and the artiste Francisco Cano was commissioned for its
creation in 1922. And in 1994, during the first century of
the death of Rafael Nunez, the Apolo park was remade.
Nunez is shown while walking with the Colombian
constitution manuscript of 1886 under his arm while
looking at the retreat of Mercedes in the quarter El
Cabrero.
