The Old Cathedral of Cartagena, the Roman site of Duke Street and the castles of Lorca, Jumilla star in Moratalla and explanatory panels work of this architect, describing each project with a timeline, which accompany photographs.
In addition, several documents and personal belongings of San Martín exposed.
Visitors will see in this sample to the glasses, passport or eraser wearing architect.
Personal photographs like the race to party in Madrid are also shown.
Even the registration receipt of School of Arts and Artistic Trades of capital appears in this collection.
Another curiosity of the exhibition is the discovery of a hitherto little known facet of the former director of the museum, such as drawing.
