Overview

On this special audio tour you will get to know Getsemani, one of the coolest neighborhoods in Cartagena. The pirate Black Bart takes you on this peculiar tour of Getsemani. Get ready to laugh and discover, because this narrator is very eccentric. Black Bart will start in Arsenal Street and tell you the famous story of Pedro Romero, better known as "Matancero", a local hero and martyr who led the Cartagena uprising against the colonists. You will discover the Plaza del Pozo and the artwork of Carmona, a famous Colombian contemporary artist. On your tour, you will discover the stories behind the neighborhood's names, such as "Las Chancletas", Lomba and Angosto y Ancho Street. Towards the end of the tour, you'll hear a spooky story about Sierpe Street and the witch who inhabited the neighborhood.
