Description
Detail of the San Felipe fortress in Cartagena. The castle was built starting in the 1500s to protect the Spanish Empire's profits coming from its slave trade and the shipping industry. Cartagena is located 60 km from San Basilio de Palenque. As of 1975, the residents of San Basilio could reach the port city by bus through a road build in 1966. Before then, villagers travelled to Cartagena by horse, mule, donkey, or by boat, navigating through one of the many rivers of the Magdalena River Valley. The construction of the road brought very rapid social change to the village and the life of its residents. Colombian anthropologist Nina S. De Friedemann had been studying the Afro-Colombian community of San Basilio de Palenque for the Colombian Institute of Anthropology and Richard Cross joined her to do work as a visual anthropologist in June 1975. This image illustrates Cross's anthropological category: Architecture. Detalle de la fortaleza de San Felipe en Cartagena.
