CARTAGENA | Iglesia de San Pedro Claver is a church in Cartagena’s historic old town. It was founded by by Jesuits in 1580 and built between between 1580 and 1654. Originally it was known as church of San Juan de Dios, then the church of San Ignacio de Loyola.
The church’s current name honours Spanish-born monk Pedro Claver, who lived and died in the church, and dedicated his life to evangelising and redeeming the black slaves of New Granada. A series of paintings inside the church tells his story.
