Uncovered Secrets: The Hidden Water Reservoir of San José Castle, Spain

In the heart of Cartagena, Spain, the medieval San José Castle hides a centuries-old secret: an ancient water reservoir hidden within its walls.

San José Castle, in Cartagena, Spain, dates back to the 11th century. It houses a history-rich living quarter, including a hidden, centuries-old water reservoir within its walls. The castle, partitioned into two perimeters, showcases stark contrasts between the empty upper part, where cannons were once stored, and the reservoir hidden within its walls.
