Formerly known as Plaza de la Yerba, the triangular square just behind Puerta del Reloj was once used as a market for enslaved peoples.
The statue of the city's founder, Pedro de Heredia, is in the middle of the square.
The city was founded on June 1, 1533, by the Spanish commander Pedro de Heredia, where in the past there was a village of the Calamarí indigenous tribe. Heredia quickly proceeded to name the Cabildo and draw the lines of the city. In 1538, the Crown authorized the division of the Indians among the neighbors, and taxed the taxes. Cartagena would, at that time, become a colonial society of encomenderos. The city's port was gaining importance thanks to its bay protected by the Spanish military, the construction of forts and walls and its proximity to Panama City, another important Spanish port. In the following years, Heredia would be arrested for crimes against the Sinú people and later sentenced to death. Contrary to popular belief, the Crown upheld human rights under the "Laws of the Indies". Despite escaping to Spain, Heredia would die during the sinking of her ship.

It is lined with old terraced houses with colonial arcades on the ground floor. The arcaded walkway, known as 'El Portal de los Dulces', now features confectionery stalls selling local sweets.
Plaza de los Coches, Cartagena, Colômbia.
Antigamente conhecida como Plaza de la Yerba, a praça triangular logo atrás de Puerta del Reloj já foi usada como mercado de povos escravizados.
A estátua do fundador da cidade, Pedro de Heredia, fica no meio da praça.
A cidade foi fundada em 1 de junho de 1533, pelo comandante espanhol Pedro de Heredia, onde antigamente se encontrava uma vila da tribo indígena Calamarí. Rapidamente, Heredia prosseguiu em nomear o Cabildo e traçar as linhas da cidade. Em 1538, a Coroa autorizou a divisão dos índios entre os vizinhos, e taxou os tributos. Cartagena se converteria, nessa época, em uma sociedade colonial de encomenderos. O porto da cidade foi ganhando importância graças a sua baía protegida pelos militares espanhóis, à construção de fortes e muralhas e à sua proximidade com a Cidade do Panamá, outro porto espanhol importante. Nos anos seguintes, Heredia seria preso por crimes contra o povo Sinú e, mais tarde, condenado a morte. Ao contrário do que se pensa, a Coroa velava pelos direitos humanos segundo as "Leis das Índias". Apesar de ter escapado para a Espanha, Heredia morreria durante o naufrágio de seu navio.
some small kids were picking flowers for their moms and this one was inadvertently left behind on the table.
my son took a break from riding his balance bike to go play at the swings. I felt the perspective here added to the overall image.
i liked the juxtaposition of the newly budding rose in the front followed by the full bloom of the rose in the back. It felt like a timeline of things to come.
