Seamanship Instruction Barracks, Cartagena, Military education complex in Cartagena, Spain.
The Seamanship Instruction Barracks stands as a rectangular stone building with robust walls and a central courtyard on Calle Real street.
The structure, built between 1776 and 1786 by architects Mateo Vodopich and Francisco Gautier, served as a military prison until 1945.
The building represents Spanish naval education traditions through its transformation from a prison to a modern university facility in 2009.
The barracks now operates as part of the Universidad Politécnica de Cartagena, offering educational programs and hosting maritime-related events.
The facility maintains its original eighteenth-century architectural elements while functioning as a contemporary educational institution in the Mediterranean region.
