In Cartagena the growing importance of its siting and of the commercial transactions generated by its port made it necessary to reinforce the city´s defences. The urban area was fortified under king Charles III and also at this time the Military Arsenal and the castles of Galeras, Atalayas, San Julian y moros and the Fuente de Navidad were built to guarantee the city´s defence. New churches were erected, like that of El Carmen, others were refurbished, like Santo Domingo, Santa Maria de Gracia later modified in neoclassic style, and also refurbished their estates, like of Governor Francisco de Borja now the Casino.

Aguilas until then nothing more than a fishermen´s village raided for centuries by Berber pirates, emerged as a complete new town at the foot of the Castillo de San Juan. A new town was drawn up in 1766 by the military architect Sebastian Feringan who was also responsible for the construction of the Military Arsenal in Cartagena, with an octagonal plan, at that time very popular in Spain´s New World colonies.

Finally the remarkable examples of several monasteries and rural hermitages of great relevance and influence in the XVII century among them the monastery of San Ginés de la Jara in El Algar, of colonial appearance. Santa Ana in Jumilla with its interesting library and the carving if Christ tied to the Column, by Salzillo. The hermitage of la Rogativa on the west side of Moratalla township, a simple construction isolated from the urban area and with the familiar austerity so common of the religious architecture in the Region.
