You can't go to Cartagena and not take a picture with one of Colombia's most famous sculptures, the Old Boots. These huge pieces of footwear can be found behind the Castillo de San Felipe. This unique work of art pays tribute to Luis Carlos López and his most famous poetry piece, Mi Ciudad Nativa ("My Native City"). Luis Carlos López was a poet and journalist, born in Cartagena in 1879 and died in 1950. He published many poetry books and was heavily involved in politics as a writing collaborator for various magazines and newspapers. The Castillo de San Felipe is located in a part of town called El Cabrero and is accessible to anybody free of charge.
