Church of San Juan Bautista, Catholic church in Cartagena Casco, Spain
The Church of San Juan Bautista stands in central Cartagena with its main entrance featuring classical architectural elements and stone construction details.
The building underwent multiple reconstructions until reaching its current form in 1797, following the demolition of the original structure in 1654.
The church maintained close ties with the Capuchin Nuns, who operated their convent on adjacent land until the early 1990s.
The interior spaces of San Juan Bautista Church accommodate religious ceremonies, community gatherings, and regular worship services throughout the week.
Below the choir area lies a crypt containing the remains of 260 Capuchin Poor Clare nuns who served at the church over generations.

The Murcia region combines natural landscapes with historical sites from different periods. The Salto del Usero natural pool in Bullas, the beaches of Calblanque Natural Area, and the Almadenes gorge near Cieza demonstrate the geological variety of the region. The coast offers sheltered coves like Cala Cortina and remote beaches such as El Portús, while the Gredas de Bolnuevo erosion formations show the power of natural processes. The historical architecture ranges from medieval fortifications to baroque cultural sites. Monteagudo Castle from the 11th century and Castillo de Lorca document the Moorish and Christian past. Coastal towers like Torre de Santa Elena and Torre del Cope date from the 16th century and served as defenses against pirates. The Santa Clara Monastery and Museo Salzillo in Murcia city preserve 18th-century religious art, while the Palacio de Guevara in Lorca represents baroque urban architecture.
