About This Design

Palenquera fruit seller in Cartagena Colombia Postcard

Palenquera fruit seller in Cartagena Colombia Postcard

Cartagena, Colombia, is a captivating coastal city where centuries of history and vibrant Caribbean culture converge. Nestled along the shores of the Caribbean Sea, Cartagena is best known for its beautifully preserved colonial walled city, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where cobblestone streets wind past brightly painted buildings, flower-draped balconies, and historic churches. The city’s history is deeply tied to Spanish colonialism, trade, and resistance to piracy, giving it a layered cultural and architectural heritage. Today, Cartagena is a major tourist destination that blends old-world charm with modern energy, offering everything from luxury resorts and nightlife to traditional plazas and local street vendors. Among the most iconic figures in Cartagena’s cultural landscape are the Palenqueras—Afro-Colombian women dressed in brightly coloured dresses who often pose for photos while balancing bowls of tropical fruit on their heads. The Palenqueras come from San Basilio de Palenque, a village founded by escaped African slaves and recognized as the first free Black community in the Americas. Their presence in Cartagena is not only visually striking but also deeply symbolic, representing the enduring African influence on Colombian identity, cuisine, and music. While often photographed as tourist attractions, the Palenqueras also embody a legacy of resilience, cultural pride, and the rich multicultural fabric that defines Cartagena.
