The biggest fortress the Spanish ever built in their colonies, the Castillo San Felipe de Barajas was never conquered. It still overlooks the old city and the surroundings.
Ultimately, the entire Cerro de San Lázaro, the hill on which the fortification was built, was completely covered by the structure, thus effectively making any unwanted entry into the city of Cartagena from land impossible. When you approach the fortress from the side of Cartagena, you realize how massive the Castillo San Felipe is. Climbing the winding access ramp brings you to the top of the fortress. Apart from a fine view over old Cartagena as well as the modern city, you can start exploring the different batteries here, the ammunition warehouses, hospital, the belfry, and the long tunnels that cut through the fortress and could be used to transfer ammunition from one side to the next, or for escaping the enemy. The fortress was constructed in such a way that, if needed, it could destruct itself in case the enemy would be about to take over. Because of the design, this, however, never happened.
