Cele mai importante atracții din Cartagena

Cartagena Essentials

Cartagena's 3,000-year history is anchored by the remarkably preserved Roman Theatre and the Roman Forum District, one of Spain's largest urban archaeological sites. The city's maritime identity is showcased at the National Museum of Underwater Archaeology and the Naval Museum, home to the pioneering 19th-century Isaac Peral submarine. Defensive history is visible at the Punic Wall remains, while Modernist architecture defines the Ayuntamiento. A panoramic elevator connects the port to the hilltop castle, providing views over the harbor and the bronze El Zulo monument.
