San Pedro Museum, Cartagena

Per Wikipedia "The church is part of a set of religious buildings that is complemented by the Cloister of San Pedro Claver and the archaeological museum. It was built between 1580 and 1654, under the parameters of colonial constructions. Originally known as the church of San Juan de Dios, it has been called the church of San Ignacio de Loyola since 1622 and is now known as San Pedro Claver."









San Pedro Claver, the first person to be canonized in the New World, dedicated his life to tending to the enslaved from literally the instant they arrived in the Americas. In life, Claver became known as “Apostle of the Blacks” – or more derisively by his slavery-approving Jesuit brothers “Slave of the Slaves”– after arriving in Colombia from his birthplace in Verdú, Spain.
