Museo Naval del Caribe

This extensive museum recounts Cartagena’s remarkable naval history. Located behind Iglesia de San Pedro Claver, this emblematic building was restored by local artisans and now includes two large aisles separated by gardens and a second floor of items on display. The first floor, known as the “Republican Wing,” features pieces of military architecture. As you proceed up the stairs to the “Colonial Wing,” you can will find naval weapons and ship parts. Archeological samples such as anchors, cannons, and other sea instruments are also on display. This museum is a great way to learn about and piece together the city’s maritime legends and history.
