Antigones Barracks, Military building in Cartagena, Spain

The Antigones Barracks stands as a two-story military structure with a U-shaped layout, featuring a central courtyard and uniform stone masonry construction.

Built between 1783 and 1796 under architect Mateo Vodopich's direction, the barracks first housed the Aragon Infantry Regiment No. 17 upon its completion.

The building's transformation from military quarters to an educational facility maintains the connection between Cartagena's past and present through architectural preservation.

The facility now functions as the headquarters for the Telecommunications Engineering School and houses the main library of the Polytechnic University of Cartagena.

The structure sits on an ancient Roman site where remnants of an amphitheater were discovered during its initial construction in the 18th century.
