Casa Maestre
This baroque mansion, standing in the old city of Cartagena, was inspired by Gaudi's Casa Calvet. It was built in 1906 for a local mining tycoon, Jose Maestre.
The house occupies virtually the whole of one side of the adjacent plaza - one feels that it really should be named a "palacio" rather than a "casa" - but since the said plaza is dominated by massive banyan trees, whose branches and roots have created great, gloomy caverns, it is nowadays very difficult to get a good view of the building and to appreciate its magnificent front facade.
