Article source: CAZA Cartagena de las Indias is a city defined by the wondrous physical coupling of Nature and History. We have imagined an airport that fosters links with both elements.  Image Courtesy © CAZA

The courtyards add a touch of nature to all the main functions of the airport while acting as anchors of commercial activity, making for a desirable environment to shop, dine and relax. The architecture of the new Cartagena airport pays homage to the legendary walled city by reinterpreting the classical arches as an iconic gateway framing the arrival and departure experience.
