The convent of the Order of St. Augustine, houses in its chapel the statue of Our Lady of Candelaria, patron saint of the city
On top of a hill 1 km from the Castillo San Felipe, this convent of the Order of Saint Augustine was built in 1608 on a place of animist worship. The modest wooden chapel was later replaced by a more solid construction. After Independence it was used as a military center and then abandoned for a few years. The convent has been restored and in its chapel is the statue of Our Lady of Candelaria, patron saint of the city, who has protected it many times from leprosy and pirates.

It is worth the detour but it is better to negotiate the price of the taxi to await you. Magnificent view of Cartagène
