Cartagena: fortifications enclosing different urban areas

Useful to know

Cartagena’s heritage includes a port, fortifications and neighbourhoods with different historical roles. San Pedro, San Diego and Getsemaní are not identical sections of one decorative facade. [1]

Compare the defensive perimeter with the internal plan. Walls reveal boundaries and protection, while streets and public buildings show everyday organization. Both scales are needed to understand the city.
