The Cartagena Arsenal serves as the base for several units of the Spanish Navy and as a logistics hub for ships calling at Cartagena. It is one of Spain's oldest naval bases, founded in the 18th century. Construction of the Arsenal began in late 1731 and was completed in 1782 during the reign of Charles III. In the 18th century, the naval base was a significant industrial complex with shipyards and workshops for carpentry, rigging, and metalwork, as well as craft workshops producing ship ornaments and decorations. The Arsenal employed several thousand people in the construction and maintenance of Spanish naval vessels. The naval base was expanded in 1849 during the reign of Isabella II.
