Welcome ToCARTAGENA
Each year in November the Council of Cartagena carries out a traditional act known as the Voto a los Cuatro Santos y a la Virgen del Rosell.
This commemorates a terrible storm, the Borrasca de Santa Catalina which took place on the 24th November in 1694, which threatened to demolish the whole city, such was the force of the storm and floodwaters.
The residents prayed to the four saints of Cartagena San Leandro, San Fulgencio, Santa Florentina and San Isidoro and the Virgen del Rosell ( after whom the Rosell hospital is named) and miraculously, Cartagena was saved.
Each year a service is held in the Iglesia de Santa María de Gracia in Cartagena, which houses four images of the saints, carved by master sculptor, Francisco Salzillo.
Mass is celebrated giving thanks to the saints, and a floral offering is given following the service.
More information about Cartagena is available in the dedicated Cartagena section.
