Roman Relics of Cartagena

Thousands of years of history unfold as you stroll the streets of Cartagena and discover relics of civilizations that thrived here millennia ago. Listen for echoes of laughter and celebration in ancient structures where Roman banquets were held, and imagine the thunderous applause that rang out in the 7,000-seat Roman theater built in the 1st century BC. As you stroll through the ruins of Roman baths, you may feel certain that you detect the aroma of red wine wafting from the clay pots. Leaving ancient Rome behind, you will return to Cartagena's bustling modern streets and one of the city's oldest bars for a traditional tapa and vermu´, a favorite local drink.
