Don Antonio Arévalo, the last of the great Spanish military engineers, worked in Cartagena. This work was completed in 1798 and work began in 1789. The vaults were conceived as a bomb-proof complex (with explosives) to house the royal troops of Spain, store ammunition and defend a section of the walls. The convenience of this building rests on the idea of housing the soldiers in the same place that they had to defend.
