Convento de Santo Domingo, Cartagena, Dominican convent in Plaza Santo Domingo, Cartagena, Colombia.
The three-story stone building features a central courtyard, wide corridors, and numerous chambers arranged around multiple cloisters within its colonial structure.
Construction of the convent started in 1549 under Friar Jose de Robles and extended over 150 years due to fires, attacks, and resource limitations.
The convent functioned as a significant learning center in New Granada, providing philosophical and theological training while supporting regional evangelization efforts.
Located at Carrera 3 35-31, the national monument opens daily for visitors to explore its architectural features and religious artifacts.
The building contains multiple burial sites discovered during restoration work, including the tomb of Spanish Admiral Blas de Lezo.
