This postcard was sent by Claus

The Church of San Pedro Claver is a Colombian Catholic cult temple dedicated to San Pedro Claver, whose remains are in the church's altar. It is located on the corner of Calle 31 with Carrera 4, right in front of the Plaza de la Aduana, in the historic part of the city of Cartagena de Indias. 
The temple is part of a set of religious buildings which is complemented by the Cloister of San Pedro Claver and the archaeological museum. It was built between 1580 and 1654, under the parameters of the colonial buildings. It was originally known as Church of San Juan de Dios, from 1622 it was called church of San Ignacio de Loyola and now called San Pedro Claver. - in: wikipedia
