According to documents collected in the Municipal Archive of Cartagena, this October 30 marks the 411th anniversary of the banner of the municipality that was sent to do in 1607.

On this date, nine crimson banners were made, one of larger dimensions in which they stamped the royal arms belonging to King Felipe III, of which we celebrate the anniversary today.

The rest of the banners were of a smaller size and had stamped the arms of the city.

Few cities treasure banners of such antiquity in their funds.

According to documents provided by the municipal archive, the City Council had to deliver to the Warden of the castle Luis de Maeda the banner and bell that the Council sent to make.
