This is the main fortress that guarded the city of Cartagena from pirates and other evil-forces. This castle was the main staging area for all of the stolen incan and mayan gold and treasures before they made thier journey back to Spain. This fortress is full of hidden trap doors and was impregnable to intruders trying to take over the city. Cartagena was also the first city in the "New World" where the inquisition began and the indians and non-Christians were tortured and put to death by order of the Pope in the Vatican unless they converted to Christianity.
