Cartagena Roman Exploration

Cartagena Roman Exploration Cartagena is a metropolis that has been shaped by many ancient cultures.

There you will experience a little bit of our gastronomy and feel how is the local people's life. You will see the ancient Roman Forum and the archaeological excavations.
