The Palace of the Inquisition of Cartagena de Indias is a colonial and baroque building that formerly served as the seat of the inquisition court of the Catholic Church. It was built in 1770 and currently serves as headquarters for the Historical Museum of Cartagena de Indias, a mandatory stop during your stay in the city. Both for the historical richness of its 18th century building and for its numerous permanent and temporary exhibitions, this is a place worth visiting if you are looking to soak up the history and culture of the country and its ancestors.
