Casa Llagostera, Art Nouveau residential building in Calle Mayor, Cartagena, Spain.

The Casa Llagostera features a decorative facade with continuous balconies, wrought iron railings, floral motifs, and colored glass panes across three floors.

Commissioned by textile merchant Esteban Llagostera in 1913, architect Victor Beltri designed this structure during Cartagena's economic growth period linked to World War I.

The ceramic work by Gaspar Polo incorporates figures of Minerva and Mercury, along with the coats of arms of Cartagena, Murcia, Barcelona, and Manlleu.

The ground floor originally contained a textile shop, while the upper floors served as residential spaces with twelve rooms per level.

A communication tower on the rooftop allowed the owner to exchange flag signals with his estate known as Huerto de las Bolas.
