Bruce and I have been to this port before so today we decided to go to the Panoramic Lift and Conception Castle.

It was a beautiful day for exploring with bright sunshine and 65-degree temperatures. It was a pleasant walk of less than a quarter mile to our destination.

We walked through an interesting tunnel with artwork.

We bought our tickets from Get Your Guide and to be honest you could just go there and pay. It was $16 for our tickets with an audio guide.

It was quite a pretty walk around the grounds. Lots of peacocks which I’m used to in Florida.

First, we went through low-hanging doorways to get into the cisterns.

We climbed stairs to the tower area, which had magnificent views of Cartagena.


A slab of rock above the entrance was reused stone from ancient times.

The interior had small windows obviously for bows and arrows.

And several rooms had artifacts and reproductions.



We didn’t take the lift down but had a nice walk downhill.

A delightful day in Cartagena.

Tomorrow it’s Majorca!
