Walls of Carlos III, Historic fortification walls in Cartagena, Spain.
The walls stretch along the perimeter of Cartagena with thick stone structures offering views over the Mediterranean Sea and urban landscape.
Construction of these defensive walls began in 1771 under King Carlos III's reign, with architects Mateo Vodopich and Sebastián Feringán completing them in 1792.
The fortification stands as a protected cultural asset since 1993, recognized for its military architectural techniques from the late 18th century.
Visitors can access multiple sections of the walls throughout the day, with guided tours available that detail the structure's military and architectural features.
The walls incorporate specific engineering elements that made Cartagena's defense system particularly effective against naval attacks during the 18th century.
