Description
The military church of Santo Domingo is a Catholic temple located on Calle Mayor in the Spanish city of Cartagena ( Region of Murcia ).
The church was built as an appendix to the convent of San Isidoro , built in 1580 to be occupied by the mendicant order of the Dominicans . In 1690 the mako brotherhood added a chapel , which it used as the headquarters and exit for the Good Friday procession .
Entering the 19th century , the church was used in 1823 as a stable for French troops during the intervention of the Hundred Thousand Sons of Saint Louis in favor of absolutism , 1 and on July 25, 1835 the convent was affected by the royal decree , by which the suppression of conventual properties was ordered. This resolution fell within the context of the imminent confiscation of President Juan Álvarez Mendizábal (1836), so that the convent was transferred as private property to the Picó family (who would build the disappeared pharmacy on Calle Mayor ), remaining only as ecclesiastical property. the temple.
By 1875 the church was under the protection of the Spanish Navy and the patronage of San Fernando , although over time it was changed to Santo Domingo , which has prevailed to the present day. During the Civil War it suffered significant damage that made it unfit for use by the mako brothers during Holy Week .
It has undergone important renovations and restorations throughout its existence, the last in 1973, which was noticeable throughout the church. Today it is completely functional under the Military Archbishopric .
