Clock Tower Monument

The Clock Tower is the quintessential symbol and the majestic gateway to the walled historic center of Cartagena de Indias. Originally known as Boca del Puente, this imposing colonial building guarded the access to the fortified city and today dazzles with its distinctive yellow spire and republican clock. Directly connecting with the Plaza de los Coches, it is the epicenter of Cartagena's tourist, cultural, and nightlife pulse; an essential meeting point to start walks through the colonial streets, admire street artists, and be captivated by the magic and the Caribbean breeze.
