Catedral de Santa Catalina de Alejandría de Cartagena de Indias, Calle de los Santos de Piedra, Cra. 4, Cartagena, Bolívar, Colombia. (Part 2). The Cathedral of Cartagena in Colombia, officially the Metropolitan Cathedral Basilica of Saint Catherine of Alexandria, is located in the historic centre of Cartagena. It is the episcopal see of the Archbishop of Cartagena de Indias, one of the oldest episcopal sees in the Americas. The cathedral is dedicated to Saint Catherine of Alexandria. The cathedral was designed by master builder Simón González, modelled after basilicas in Andalusia and the Canary Islands The present tower was designed by French architect Gastón Lelarge, the result of remodelling in the early twentieth century. Construction began in 1577, replacing a humble cathedral of straw and reeds. In 1586, while the church was still under construction, it was attacked by the English privateer Francis Drake, which caused severe damage and delayed its completion. The building was finished in 1612.
