Question (En)
What role did Cartagena play during the colonial era?
Answer (En)
Throughout the colonial era, Cartagena emerged as a crucial commercial hub for the Spanish Empire, facilitating the transatlantic trade of gold, silver, and other goods. Its strategic location made it a target for pirates and privateers, leading to a series of attacks that forced the Spanish Crown to invest heavily in fortifications. The construction of impressive defenses, such as the Castillo de San Felipe de Barajas and the city walls, allowed Cartagena to withstand numerous sieges. The city also served as the administrative center of the Spanish Caribbean, influencing the political and economic landscape of the region. Its significance extended beyond commerce, as it became a cultural melting pot, blending Indigenous, African, and European influences that shaped its unique identity.
