Corralito de Piedra is a place with a unique charm that radiates from its colors, the history of its manor houses and its balconies, which have witnessed so much in their time.

You are here:
Heredia Theater
Eleven kilometers of walls enclose the historic center of this warm, coastal, ancient, and sophisticated city of the sixteenth century. This is the main destination for congresses and conventions on Colombia’s Caribbean Coast.
Its old churches and impressive architecture, its legendary colonial houses that belonged to counts and marquises, its lively narrow streets that exhibit immense respect for their architecture, the Fortress of San Felipe de Barajas, the Heredia Theater, and each one of its bulwarks are unequalled locations for incentive programs. The Inquisition Museum, the Gold Museum, the Naval Museum, and the Museum of the Zenú Culture are magnificent additions to such programs.
Several tours depart from this “Corralito de Piedra” (“Little Stone Pen”, as the city is lovingly called). One is known as the Garciamarquian Route and takes visitors to places that inspired Colombian Nobel prize-winning Gabriel García Márquez, including Barranquilla and Santa Marta, a true voyage across his life and his works.
Jewel of the Colombian Caribbean
