The Governing Council has approved the statement with a Cultural Monument status of the property Villa Calamari, in Cartagena, one of the most significant works of the architect Victor Beltrí and referent of the modernist architecture of this city.
The Villa Calamari, popularly known as 'Mansion Versailles' is an example of the stylistic transition to Modernism.
In the late nineteenth century Italian miner Camilo Calamari Rossi acquired the property and, by 1900, commissioned Beltrí building a house and management of the existing garden.
The property was acquired by the operator after Perez Milla, and during the post-Civil War mining Conesa Angel Celdran, who restored the mansion as the project architect Pedro Antonio San Martin Moro, incorporating a pavilion or gazebo that overlooks the farm.
The main materials used in this construction are the marble for the socket and the porch and the brick and artificial stone wall for the rest.
Inside are still some rooms decorated with paintings of flowers and birds.
The two entrances of the building, the main porch and side of another block, mark two living areas, a more solemn and another journal.
The lighting is done through a modernist floral-themed window located in the front wall.
In the garden, held a management Beltrí nooks and rustic stone fountains.
