The Penarroya building

Hotel Zapata, in España square at present a Carmelite school. The Peñarroya building, on the Alfonso XII promenade, the nearby casa de los Catalanes, and also the palace of Aguirre again by Beltri with its façade forming a corner and decorated with ceramic and floral ornaments.

In the city of Murcia there are also some memorable monuments, although the impact of Modernismhere was far from the splendour of Cartagena. Of all examples, the three most outstanding ones are the edificio Guillamón in the passageway named after it; the edificio Cerdá in Santo Domingo square, topped with its characteristic temple dome, and the casa Diaz Cassou in Santa Teresa street.

We should now include in this our list of monuments in the Region the examples of the norias de riego one of the most essential features of life in the fertile wetlands of Murcia albeit difficult to date in history.

Ever since Islamic times these large working tools have been updated and improved so as to deliver water through the irrigation channels to distant crops. The best preserved water wheels are the ones in Alcantarilla beside the old by pass to Lorca, and on the outskirts of the village of La Ñora.

Traditional windmills are a typical characteristic of the countryside in the Campo de cartagena. For decades they filled the plains with white sails and gigantic arms.
