Some time ago, reviewing the portraits of former mayors of Cartagena we realized that there were none of Mariano Zabala.
We had it at home, so we decided to cede, explained the family representative, Adolfo Sanz.
Mariano Sanz occupied the mayor of the City Council from 1899 to 1901.
Under his command were laid the foundation stone of the Palace Hall and work began Graduate School, the first in Spain.
The portrait is now in the Palacio de Molina waiting for technicians to check their status, even as Adolfo Sanz, is in very good condition. We've been hanging at home and has never been packed.
The Town Planning and Heritage, Joaquin Segado reiterated its gratitude to the family and assured that the painting will hang in the room as soon as possible Former Mayors of the Palace Hall, along with portraits of other former mayors.
