Palaces, Villas and Castles

Zapata House

Unlike most examples of Modernista architecture in Cartagena, the crenelated tower of the Zapata House resembles a castle. Casa Zapata was built in 1910 based on a design by architect Víctor Beltrí. Inside is the Santa Joaquina de Vedruna School operated by the Carmelites of Cartagena. The Catholic grade school and high school was established in 1942.
