The Plaza de la Proclamación is located in the historic center of Cartagena, next to the Cathedral of Saint Catherine of Alexandria and the Proclamation Palace.
History of Proclamation Square
It was first known as "Cathedral Square" when work on the Cartagena Cathedral was completed around the first decade of the 17th century. When the City Hall was housed in the building now known as the Proclamation Palace, it was renamed Cabildo Square and subsequently Palace Square.

Hiking
The name is reminiscent of November 11, 1811, the day when the citizens of Cartagena gathered here to support the signatories of the Declaration of Independence from Spain. It was the most significant historical event in the city, which thus proclaimed its freedom as one of the first regions of Colombia.
