We traveled to Medellín, Colombia to explore one of the most controversial and surreal landmarks in narco history—La Catedral, the custom-built “prison” where drug kingpin Pablo Escobar lived like royalty. 🛬💰

From secret tunnels to luxurious rooms, a nightclub, and even a private soccer field—this wasn't your average prison. We got an in-depth tour of the grounds and uncovered chilling stories behind the walls where Escobar ran his empire while supposedly being locked up. 😱🔐⚽

Was it a prison or a palace? You decide.
