Cartagena’s architectural beauty and seaside location have lured wealthy Colombians from all over the country as well as foreigners, who are restoring the city’s crumbling buildings into elegant residences, boutique hotels and trendy restaurants.

And what they find is a city far more exotic, but no less adroit at catering to sophisticated palates — 200-year-old Spanish colonial mansions refurbished with crisp interiors, trendy bistros that elevate plantains to haute fare, and theatrical rooms buzzing with dignitaries in starched collars and Windsor knots sipping minty rum drinks.

 Upcoming filming from Ciro Guerra's new movie:"Wind Journeys", is said to be starring Keano Reeves and ... it might be filmed in Cartagena. |
| * Cartagena gained modern notoriety in the 1984 hit movie, Romancing the Stone when romance novelist Joan Wilder (Kathleen Turner) travels to Cartagena to deliver a treasure map in an effort to ransom her kidnapped sister. The Cartagena scenes were actually filmed in Mexico, and it doesn't reflect the real Cartagena. In the Family Guy episode "Barely Legal", the mayor, thinking the film to be real, sends all the police officers to Cartagena. * In that movie, Michael Douglas' character refers to it as Cartage(ny)a. This has largely been adopted by tourists and is a constant thorn in the sides of locals. The "N" in Cartagena is solid. You will find only one business in the entire city that refers to this film. | * Gabriel García Marquez's novel Love in the Time of Cholera although is set in an unnamed city, it is obviously Cartagena. Also in Cartagena, partially or totally are set other novels of his, like The General in his Labyrinth and Strange Pilgrims. * The first chapter of Brian Jacques' novel The Angel's Command takes place in 1628 Cartagena.
* The movie Love in the Time of Cholera released on November 16, 2007 in the USA, is filmed in Cartagena.
* La Queimada, "Burn!" with Marlon Brando was filmed in Cartagena and released in 1969.
* The movie The Mission released in 1986 with Robert De Niro was filmed in Cartagena and Brazil. The interpreter for the director was a Colombian who had recently moved to Canada. * The poem “Románc” by Sándor Kányádi is talking about the beauty of Cartagena. |
* Cartagena is referred to by Tom Cruise's character, Vince, in a scene in the film Collateral just before he terminates the blues trumpet player. * Cartagena is featured as the backdrop for the NCIS episode "Agent Afloat" as NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo tracks down the murderer of a Navy Communications Officer found dead near the Banana Moon bar. * A fictionalized version of the raid on Cartagena is chronicled in Chapter 27 in the novel Captain Blood. * The second story in Nam Le's award winning book of short fictions, the Boat 2008 is called Cartagena and set in Columbia.
