The Santo Domingo church - Cartagena de Indias
The oldest
conserved building of Cartagena is the Santo Domingo
church, because its construction was built in the years
1550-1560. During its construction, they remarked that the
cement wasn’t solid enough to support the walls and that
could bring risks of collapsing. To remedy to this problem,
they built a counter-wall that was disposed on the other
side of the street where we can see the supports.
Inside the church, we can remark the big interest for the
Virgin that is decorated of a golden crown with emeralds.
Also the large height of Santo Cristo de la Expiracion
that had a large devotion
and accomplished miracles. Also
present, the formation center of Spain that organized
conferences and diverse seminaries with a library. One of
the most animated places of the city is found in front of
this church, whether the
Santo Domingo place which
is somewhere to see at day and night.
