    Your Licensed Private Guide will meet you at the entrance, handle your ticket on the spot, and lead you through the museum's two fascinating levels—all set inside a beautifully preserved colonial building in the heart of the Old Town. From the first floor, hear the stories of early navigators and the colonial defenses built to protect this strategic port. Explore miniature models of forts and scenes of historic naval battles, including the famous 1586 attack led by Sir Francis Drake. On the upper floor, the focus shifts to Colombia’s modern navy. Your guide will share insights into the lives of sailors, heroic figures like Admiral José Padilla, and the everyday workings of naval operations. Interactive features like a submarine simulator and a replica ship bridge help bring the experience to life. You’ll learn more than just facts—you’ll get a feel for how the sea has shaped Cartagena’s identity over time. This tour is all about comfort, pace, and depth.
