Free Tour: San Felipe de Barajas Castle
Overview
The Castillo de San Felipe was subjected to several sieges and attacks. One of the most notable was during the famous Siege of Cartagena in 1741, when British forces attempted to capture the city and were successfully repelled. The defense of the castle during this siege is considered a historical landmark and a testament to its robust defensive structure. One of the most intriguing aspects of the castle today is its intricate system of subway tunnels.
