The castle is located in the hill of Conception, overlooking the city, and is used as as tourist center. It is a nice space, with pleasant gardens, but with not much to see except... the views.

Stairway, Seafront, Cartagena

No idea what the name is, or how old it is, but I liked this stairway set into the old city walls down by the harbour. They didn't really take me anywhere, but nice to look at anyway.

A point of interest at the Paseo Maritimo, is this first submarine dedicated to launching torpedos from under water. A lethal weapon at its time, from Isaac Peral y Caballero's idea in 1884.
