Cartagena's Coloured Colonial Architecture & Bougainvillea

Cartagena's coloured colonial architecture (the ochre, yellow, pink, terracotta, and blue facades of the Spanish colonial buildings in the walled city, draped in the purple, orange, and red bougainvillea that spills over every balcony and rooftop) is the defining visual identity of the city — the image that has made Cartagena the most photographed city in Colombia and one of the most photographed in all of Latin America.
