The historical elegance of Cartagena's rebuilt Old Yacht Club

Steeped in history and grandeur, the Old Yacht Club of Cartagena was rendered to ashes in 2001, only to rise again in 2006 after a faithful replica was built.

The Old Yacht Club in Cartagena, Spain, is a recreated version of a building designed by architect Mario Spottorno in 1912. After a devastating fire in 2001, the original structure was demolished. However, in 2006, a replica was built according to the designs of architect Ivan Martinez, echoing the essence of the lost building.
