Cartagena Part 1 - Tuesday, March 14th

I stayed at the NH Campo Cartagena, was very nice and I would stay here again. I got in later in the evening, so didn't really do much for the rest of the day. The room seemed like a handicapped room because of the handrails in the bathroom and shower stool plus flat shower.

Cartagena Part 2

The few ruined walls left were built around 227 B.C. and are protected in a building. There is not that much to see, but I felt that it was the most significant thing I saw on my whole trip (though Stonehenge is older.) 

According to the Cartagena tourist site at https://turismo.cartagena.es/itinerario_arqueologico.asp (you'll have to change the language to English at the top and it's a slow site):
The rampart was discovered in 1989, on the south side of the hill of San José, or Aletes, as it was known in Roman times. The construction dates back to 227 B.C., with the founding of the Punic city and the conversion of Cartagena (then called Qart-Hadast) into the capital of the Carthaginians in the territory of Hispania. The fortifications are in the Hellenist style, with two parallel walls spaced 18 feet apart that are, in turn, linked together by other walls. The rampart enclosed the Punic city, and this particular stretch covered the isthmus, the only entrance to the city.

Cartagena Part 3

I only spent a few hours sightseeing since I had to check-out of my hotel. I also saw a statue of Christopher Columbus (Cristobal Colon) which was created in 1882 but not placed until 1920.
