Discover the rich history and vibrant culture of Colombia's Old City, Cartagena, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Wander through the colorful streets, including the iconic Main Street looking north towards the Old City's heart, Plaza de la Aduana. This historic square, home to the Customs House, has played a crucial role in Colombia's past as a major trading hub. Step back in time as you explore Eduardo BALACA y CANSECO's Alfonso, the beautiful Customs House in Buenaventura, Colombia. This architectural gem is just one of many in Central and South America, such as those in Cartagena, Colombia, and Asuncion, Paraguay. In Argentina, Rosario de Santa Fe's Aduana (Customs) building stands proudly, while in Europe, the Customs House in Port Vell, Barcelona, adds to the city's unique charm. Each of these structures tells a story of the past, connecting countries and continents through trade and cultural exchange. Take a moment to appreciate the beauty of Plaza San Francisco in front of the Customs House (Aduana) at Terminal Sierra Maestra in Cartagena. The fountain in the center, like the historic buildings and church domes surrounding it, is a testament to the city's enduring allure.
