Basilica of Nuestra Señora de la Caridad, Cartagena

The Basilica of Nuestra Señora de la Caridad stands as one of the most significant churches in Cartagena, Spain, due to its dedication to the city's patron, Nuestra Señora de la Caridad. The interior features a prominent dome reminiscent of the Pantheon of Agrippa in Rome.
