In the history of the drug cartel criminal activities one name stands out, Pablo Escobar, the man infamous for large-scale drug trafficking. The Colombian cartel lord earned many titles during his reign “The King Of Cocaine,” “The Tsar of Cocaine,” “The Godfather,” and “The Magician.” In his heyday, he had a net worth of 30 billion dollars ($56 billion today), along with various multi-million-dollar big mansions all around the world.

One of his main houses was in Medellín, Colombia, the region where he grew up. This huge mansion has since become ruins, but that hasn’t stopped people from wanting to visit El Patrón’s real estate. In fact, his place has now been turned into a paintball venue where you can play with your friends. You can have a tour around his house, visit the apartment where he hid his family, and even Pablo Escobar’s jail called ‘La Catedral’ which he built for himself (it had a casino, a nightclub, and a spa).

Scroll down to see what’s left of the infamous drug lord’s mansion yourself!

    As a Colombian, it is sad to see how a country filled with so many amazing things, nature, architecture, history, animals, flowers, music, culture. Is mainly known and remembered by its negative side, drug lords, Pablo Escobar, etc. There is much more to see down here!!
