THE CITY
The processions of Cartagena have an important military factor, but this day achieves its height. There are three Apostles departing from three military buildings of our city. Saint James the Greater will depart from the Naval Headquarter. Saint John the Evangelist will depart from the Artillery Headquarter. Saint Peter, after lowering the flag and the
Admiral’s appropriate authorisation, will depart from the Military Arsenal. The three of them, carried on their shoulders by fervent portapasos in typical floats, will meet at San Sebastián Square. They will continue together up to their arrival at Santa María de Gracia Church.
