1m-euro project to restore San Leandro Battery in Cartagena put out to tender

The bidding phase of the project to restore the Batería de San Leandro, the coastal battery next to the La Curra dock in Cartagena, has been opened. This means that the rehabilitation and the opening of this site to tourists is one step closer.

This 18th century bastion in the vicinity of Cala Cortina, which is listed as an Asset of Cultural Interest (BIC), will be “rehabilitated and adapted for the use and enjoyment of residents and tourists”, according to Cartagena City Council.

The tender for this work is valued at more than 1 million euros and will turn this old military installation “into an interpretation centre of the defensive system that makes up the batteries” on the coast of Cartagena.

Other such gun batteries include the Batería de Castillitos to the west, nearer to the Port of Mazarrón, and the gun batteries of Las Cenizas and Negrete l up in the mountains.

The San Leandro Battery is a municipally owned facility, currently in disuse, with a total surface area of 5,675 square metres. Over the years, the site has been exposed not only to the elements but also to vandals and looters.

Cartagena City Council intends to beautify both the inside and outside of the battery, with landscaping work taking place in the surroundings.

Recently, the Local Government Board also approved a project to create an ecological pedestrian cycling and walking that will link Playa Honda with the Villas Caravaning campsite, which will be put out to tender shortly.
