Casa de Misericordia de Cartagena, Modernist charitable institution in Cartagena, Spain.
The building features a modernist architectural design with a central entrance on Calle de San Diego, incorporating early 20th-century construction elements.
The institution originated in 1839 within a former convent of San Diego before architect Victor Beltri created the current structure in 1929.
The building represents the evolution of social welfare in Cartagena, transforming from a children's care center to a university administrative headquarters.
The Casa de Misericordia now functions as the main office of the Polytechnic University of Cartagena, serving educational administrative purposes.
A 1980s renovation altered the original patio structure, resulting in an unusual architectural configuration with the main entrance isolated mid-street.
