Located in Cartagena, Spain, this mausoleum was designed by architect Víctor Beltri i Roqueta in the Egyptian Revival style. Built as a family monument for the Martínez lineage, it exemplifies the nineteenth-century European fascination with Egyptology and ancient forms, translating that aesthetic into a sepulchral structure. The building's architectural language draws on Egyptian motifs and design principles, rendering it a distinctive example of how historical revival movements shaped memorial architecture in Spain during this period.
