Founded on June 1st 1533 by Don Pedro de Heredia, Cartagena de Indias became the jewel in the crown due to its geographical position and wealth found within the indigenous communities of Zenu among others. It was a city that was attacked by pirates, corsairs and enemy countries of the Spaniers between the 15th and the 18th century, which led to the construction of bastions, walls and fortifications for its defense since 1587.
