Las Bóvedas in Cartagena, Colombia, is an iconic historical structure located in the heart of the city's walled old town. Originally built in the late 18th century, this series of 23 vaults and 47 arches served as storage rooms and later as a prison. Today, Las Bóvedas has been transformed into a vibrant marketplace where visitors can browse and purchase a variety of local handicrafts, artworks, and souvenirs. The architecture itself, with its thick, fortified walls, offers a glimpse into Cartagena's colonial past and its strategic importance as a port city.
