Questionnaire
Year erected:1780
What is the history of the property?The block where the property is located is already shown on the first maps known of the Cartagena de Indias. It's located on the most relevant quarter, where the Spanish colonization began, close to important buildings like the Casa de los Oficiales Reales (house of royal officers), the Cathedral of Cartagena, and the Cabildo or Governor´s house, which is the seat of the regional administration of the Bolivar Department today.

What was the era and/or the architectural style in which the property was built?Since colonial times, the building was a "casa alta" (high house) that predominates in this quarter. It is known that most of the buildings were of this type, because of their importance and use. Located near the port, the first floor was usually used as a warehouse or shop and the second was intended for rooms.

This house was probably built in the late seventeenth century and keeps the typical characteristics of this epoch. The spacious high-ceilinged entryway leads to a small lobby and staircase, and there is a small balcony on the upper level. The front rooms on the ground floor keep the original arches and interiors used in the past as warehouse or depot.

Continuing into the courtyard in the center of the house, you can find the cistern or tank used to keep rainwater to drink during the dry season. Today it is transformed into our cloistered dining room "El Aljibe". In the backyard, there is an open kitchen and servant's rooms with a spiral staircase that climbs to the "mirador" on the top of the roof.
