Convent of San Francisco - Cartagena de Indias
Situated on the other side of
the Chemin des Martyres, so close to the
Conventions Center
of Cartagena, the convent or church of San Francisco is
now a small commercial center where many activities happen
since its position in Getsemani.
The construction of this convent or monastery was realized
in 1555 by Fray Pedro of Iglesia, but in 1559, French
pirates destroyed it and was abandoned by the religious,
it’s only in 1560 that this convent was finished. This
site was also a link for inquisitors that arrived in
Cartagena in 1610.
