Bocachica Fort
Cartagena, Colombia
Bocachica Fort in Cartagena was completed in 1759 and played a key role in the defense against British attacks. Its thick stone walls and strategic placement at the entrance to Cartagena Bay made it a formidable barrier. Walking through its tunnels and ramparts, the whispers of history are almost audible among the cannons still standing watch.
