For the price (free) it's a great place to visit. A few tanks a self propelled gun and lots of artillery. You boys loved it.

This building where this museum is found was built between March 1777 and August 1786 and houses a superb collection of artillery weapons and vehicles, uniforms etc. It also has 2815 military models which was the Guinness World Record sized collection in 2012.
Two good things about it are a) it is FREE to enter and b) it is open on Mondays which is unusual for Spanish museums.
If you like weaponry and associated items this is for you

drove 60klm down the motorway to Cartagena which was really easy. So much to see, lots of museums, beautiful buildings with stunning old architecture, fantastic shops, coffee bars, and eateries, was great to meander through the town.
Marina is worth the walk to, there are tourist boats you can book to see other places off the coastline.
We found Moroccan area with its traditional restaurant's serving traditional tagines and sweet mint tea, very friendly accommodating staff, rich traditional décor, a real feel of Morocco in Spain......so much to experience in so little time....will be returning many times again.

Not huge, but packed with military hardware of all shapes and sizes. Certainly worth a visit and allow about 2 hours.

My wife and I were on a cruise ship that docked in Cartagena. We have never been here at Cartagena before. I'm not sure how to tell people that Cartagena was one of the best port-a-calls of the whole cruise. To start, the harbor was picture perfect looking from the ship to the town and when you were in town looking back at the harbor and ship.The walk along the harbor was very nice. There are lots of places to shop, eat and just sit, relax. It is a very short walk into town. The town square is picture perfect also. Sidewalk cafes, shopping and museums are close. You can see the Rome influeance. There is one of the findest persurved ampatheaters. We were only there for a few hours, but could have stayed for days. We will go back. Our Visit was the end of April.
