'Cartagena Grace'

A lively combination of Colombian splendor and Caribbean soul, the port city of Cartagena has long been a destination of choice for those seeking an abundance of color, spirit and play. From the Teatro Adolfo Mejia, built to commemorate the country's independence, to the Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the church of San Pedro Claver, the city's landmarks and more are captured in Assouline's 'Cartagena Grace', a bold insight into this place of celebration. Authored by Johanna Ortiz and Lauren Santo Domingo, the volume honors Cartagena in its guise as the host of memorable weddings and parties, as well as its quieter moments, found beyond the cobblestone alleyways, bougainvillea and orange-yellow facades.
