BUILT IN THE LATE 17TH AND EARLY 18TH CENTURIES, CASA ESTRADA IS LOCATED IN A PRIVILEGED SETTING ON CALLE DE LA IGLESIA, IN THE HEART OF THE WALLED CITY OF CARTAGENA DE INDIAS.

THE FIRST FAMILY TO INHABIT THE RESIDENCE WAS OF ENGLISH DESCENT. ITS OWNER, A DISTINGUISHED MERCHANT, ESTABLISHED THE PROPERTY AS A HOME FOR THREE GENERATIONS OF HIS FAMILY.

YEARS LATER, THE RESIDENCE SERVED AS THE OFFICIAL SEAT OF THE CONSULATE OF ENGLAND, FURTHER AFFIRMING ITS HISTORICAL IMPORTANCE.

ITS LOCATION HAS ALWAYS BEEN STRATEGIC WITHIN THE CITY’S SOCIAL AND POLITICAL LIFE, AS IT STANDS JUST STEPS AWAY FROM THE CATHEDRAL OF SANTA CATALINA DE ALEJANDRÍA, PLAZA DE BOLÍVAR, THE ARCHBISHOP’S PALACE, AND VARIOUS RELIGIOUS AND CIVIL INSTITUTIONS.
