After paying the small fee to enter the old castle, we walked up the zig zag path to the top. It was late in the afternoon and the sun was slowly creeping towards the western horizon. A gigantic Columbian flag was flowing in the wind, making for some great sunset pictures. Great panormaic views to be had, even though we didn't get a chance to check out much of the castle's insides due to the late hour.
Wow that was an interesting tour through the castle we enjoyed it very much! Be sure to take sunscreen with you and a hat or viser. Cartagena is hot but a nice breeze from the ocean.
The castle represents one of the few historic and interesting portion of this city otherwise famous for the walled city.
Had a lot of fun here - the castle is really striking and you can have enjoy being a swashbuckling lad on the battlements (if you like) in the vicious heat. The tunnels were evocative and the views were great.It's a little expensive and unless you take a tour (for more money) it's over quite quickly. But decent nonetheless.If you'd like some more Cartagena tips, check out our blog: https://ednaventures.wordpress.com/2014/11/05/cartagena-de-indias-fire-mud-tv-in-a-bin-bag/
我去过卡塔赫纳两次,两次都参观了这个城堡。这里超过了加勒比地区的其他西班牙城堡。这里维护的很好,非常大,可以让人逛两三个小时。但是我推荐逛一两个小时,因为天热。一定要用防晒霜和帽子。要从炎热中得到缓解,那就参观隧道。在一些更小、更深的隧道中,一些客人可能会感到幽闭恐惧,但是这是独特的体验,你不可错过。带手电会是个好主意,但是大多数的隧道都有合适的照明。这是很棒的体验,适合单人旅行者、朋友、家庭、小孩和旅行团。
大概27美元就可以用半天时间坐大巴去Old shoes、San Felipe城堡、La Popa山和老城。比打车分别去以上景点便宜多了。
The major castle built by the Spaniards in South America, 1639-1657, expanded in 1762. Numerous attempts to capture but never penetrated. Very impressive structure as well as a comprehensive underground tunnel system. A MUST SEE in Cartagena.
这里非常美丽,如果不是因为这个价格我大概会给它打分4分,如果满分是5分的话。这的收费是17000元,我认为还是比较贵,因为这的地段是在乡村。不过这的风景真的很美非常美丽而且这的墙上布置非常精美精致。你可以独自在这附近步行20到30分钟来欣赏美景。我们还租了这的单车和一群人一起骑车游行欣赏这的美景。我们非常喜欢,很赞。
Loved the Castillo which is well preserved and provides beautiful views of the city of Cartagena. It is a large fortification with tunnels and walkways leading to different levels of ramparts. A must see.
我没有选择导游陪伴,我就是一个人在这附近游览。我在城堡外面观赏这个地方的时候就已经深深觉得这里非常棒。
