The Murcia Region retains innumerable vestiges of the past, making it an ideal meeting-point where History and tradition have been instilled with new life and placed at the visitor’s disposal. This ample historical, artistic, architectural and cultural heritage can be contemplated and admired in a diversity of natural settings, in the actual locations where the monuments themselves were erected, or within the thematic spaces provided by the Region’s complete network of museums. The main cultural centres in the Region are Murcia, Cartagena, Lorca and Caravaca de la Cruz, being the Roman Theatre of Cartagena the most visited monument of the Region.
