Located in Cartagena, the Palacio de Aguirre is a 1901 creation showcasing modernist architecture with its distinctive ceramic dome and sculptural bee motifs. Once you step through its grand doors, you'll find yourself in a world of opulence commissioned by entrepreneur Camilo Aguirre. His lavish aesthetic is showcased in the monumental ballroom, resplendent with neo-rococo decor and ceiling frescoes by Cecilio Pla.
A stroll through the grandiose palace reveals preserved remnants of the original decor, such as his office boasting a bay window view and the monumental staircase. The building also features a neo-Gothic style oratory and a vestibule, reflecting the architectural vision of Víctor Beltrí y Roqueta.
