    La Popa Convent

    The convent, cloister and chapel of Nuestra Señora de la Candelaria de la Popa are located at the top of Cerro de la Popa, in Cartagena. The religious complex dates from 1607, when the primitive wooden and palm chapel of La Popa was built, thanks to the preaching of the barefoot Augustinian friar Fray Vicente Mallol. A year later the convent was built, initially called Santa Cruz and, later, it was given the name of La Popa, because it was shaped like a galley, whose stern is the extremity where the church currently lies.
