Attractions of Murcia
Cartagena is one of the most famous cities in Murcia. Located 20 kilometers away from La Manga along a very scenic coastline, the views are extremely picturesque. Those who love water and are passionate about the naval industry have a lot to see in Cartagena.
The port is situated in a cove naturally formed, right between Galeras and the famous San Julian, two rocky peninsulas which offer beautiful views. The port played an important role in the life of the city starting with the 5th century BC, when it started to receive a lot of attention from the Greeks and then from the Phoenicians.
The culture of Cartagena is thus very mixed and unusual, but in an interesting way which makes it all the more charming. There are numerous buildings and beautiful monuments which date back to the Roman Era and provide insights into the ancient historical background of the city, because they clearly show us how our ancestors lived.
Even though old buildings are found all over Cartagena, there is a list of modern ones that you have to visit – Conception Castle is one of the most modern buildings in Cartagena, one that stands right in the center of the square, lending a futuristic aspect, that somehow fits perfectly with the ambiance of the city. The building has an elevator to take you right to the top so that you get the best panorama of Cartagena from here.
Just 25 kilometers away from Cartagena a wide landscape opens in front of your eyes, blooming with picturesque nature, making it a great option for a picnic and for a fresh breath of air.
Cartagena is not a city where tourists get bored – the nearby lagoon offers them the possibility to practice sports such as sailing, swimming, diving, even wind surfing. The numerous amusement parks are great for children, such as the Safari Park or the Aquapolis Park, a water theme park that you will love.
