When the city of Cartagena de Indias was founded, the Zenú
indians still recalled the golden days when they dominated and
developed a vast area of the Caribbean plains. Zenú wealth
contributed to the importance of Cartagena as a centre during
Spanish Colonial times and today it is a worldwide tourist jewel.
The Zenú Gold Museum is in the centre of the walled city,
opposite the former Inquisition Palace. It was enlarged and
fully remodelled in March 2007.
