About this Cartago map poster
Cartago stands at the northern end of Colombia's Valle del Cauca department, where the La Vieja River runs along the edge of the city toward the Cauca. From above, the centre is a regular grid of blocks around the main plaza. Newer districts extend across the flat valley floor, and roads lead north toward Pereira and the coffee region.
Jorge Robledo founded the city in 1540 on a different site, near present-day Pereira, and it moved to its current location in the 1690s. Today it is known across Colombia for hand embroidery, a craft that supports many local workshops. One of its best-known buildings is the colonial Casa del Virrey, named, according to local tradition, for a viceroy who never came to live in it.
A Cartago map poster sets the orderly grid of an old Colombian town against the looser line of the river. The contrast between the straight blocks and the winding La Vieja brings the composition to life, and the flat valley around it leaves plenty of open space. It makes a fitting keepsake for anyone connected to the city or to the neighbouring coffee region.

Plaza grid
The blocks around the main square follow a tidy colonial grid. This dense, regular pattern forms the heart of the map.
Valley roads
Highways run out across the level floor of the Cauca valley toward Pereira and the south. Their long straight lines place the city in its wider setting.

Why Cartago
A map that means something
Cartago is home to generations of embroiderers, traders and farming families, and many people who grew up there now live in Cali, Bogotá or abroad. A map of the city is a personal, understated reminder of where they started.
