Fodor's Expert Review Castillo de la Concepción
Cartagena
Castle/Palace
Most of what can be seen of the castle today was built by Enrique III in the 14th century, using the remains of nearby Roman ruins. The views from here are astounding, reaching out over the town, harbor, and the Mediterranean. A panoramic lift (€2) on Calle Gisbert (excavated in 1878 to join the center of the city to the sea) rises nearly 150 feet to a gangway that leads to the Concepción Castle. Besides saving a strenuous walk, the gangway also offers great views on the way up.
