The story

Story · Catedral de Santa María

You're standing at the ruins of Cartagena's old cathedral, Santa María la Vieja. It sits on La Concepción hill, right in the old town. Take a look at those bare walls. This isn't a medieval ruin. The church was shelled in 1939, when Franco's Nationalist forces bombarded the city during the Spanish Civil War. It has stood abandoned ever since.
