Santuario de San Pedro Claver

The Santuario de San Pedro Claver is located in the historic centre of Cartagena de Indias, Colombia. It is the first Jesuit Church in the area and a must-see religious site. The Sanctuary of San Pedro Claver, also known as San Pedro Claver Cathedral, was built in 1654 as an homage to Saint Peter Claver, a Jesuit priest and missionary who dedicated his life to helping slaves and promoting the Christian faith in Colombia.
