Samson Crane Industrial Monument

Highlight • Monument

Impressively large and worth seeing, the Samson Crane is an industrial heritage of the city of Cartagena and stands as a monument in the large roundabout of the Paseo del Muelle de Santa Lucía. It was built in 1929 by the Unión Naval de Levante, S.A. on behalf of the state at the La Carraca shipyards in Cádiz, which earned it the popular name "La Gaditana," although its official name was Samson. From 1930 onwards, the Samson was used in Cartagena to unload the large Vickers guns intended for the artillery of the Castillitos and Cenizas batteries on the coast of Cartagena.

In 1993, the Navy decommissioned the Samson Crane, and since 2001 it has stood as an industrial monument near the container terminal in the Port of Cartagena.

Cartagena Arsenal

Highlight • Historical Site

The Cartagena Arsenal serves as the base for several units of the Spanish Navy and as a logistics hub for ships calling at Cartagena. It is one of Spain's oldest naval bases, founded in the 18th century. Construction of the Arsenal began in late 1731 and was completed in 1782 during the reign of Charles III. In the 18th century, the naval base was a significant industrial complex with shipyards and workshops for carpentry, rigging, and metalwork, as well as craft workshops producing ship ornaments and decorations. The Arsenal employed several thousand people in the construction and maintenance of Spanish naval vessels. The naval base was expanded in 1849 during the reign of Isabella II.

Fuente del Paseo de la Libertad

Highlight • Monument

A beautiful fountain worth seeing, with a special feature. The water does not always bubble and rush, but is adjusted to the traffic lights. As a cyclist, you can hear when traffic stops at one of the places on the roundabout and when the vehicles start moving again.
