Image of Cartagena, not of the place itself.

A shot from the coastal battery of La Parajola hit in 1939 the magazine of the rebel ship that was trying to take the naval base; of the more than two thousand men on board, some one thousand four hundred died, the greatest shipwreck in the history of Spain.
