Campo de Cartagena or Comarca de Cartagena is a comarca in the Region of Murcia, southeastern Spain. The main town is Cartagena, the most important Naval Base of the Spanish Navy in the Mediterranean Sea. The Mar Menor is located at the eastern end of the comarca.
An attempt was made during the First Spanish Republic, on July 12 of 1873 to establish a canton in the Cartagena area. The insurgency took the name Cantonal Revolution and in the following days it spread through many other regions[1][2]. Following the revolt the city of Cartagena endured for several months the attack of the troops sent by Nicolás Salmerón to restore order.
