The urn of the Colombian Nobel laureate in Literature Gabriel García Márquez is located in a marble pedestal in the courtyard of the former La Merced convent (Claustro de la Merced).
Above the pedestal is a bronze bust of the writer, created by the British sculptor Kate Murray.
Although Márquez died in Mexico City in 2014, Cartagena was chosen as his final resting place, as the city was a central source of inspiration for his works.
