context_page_description: The Spanish municipality of Cartagena has 24 districts, known as diputaciónes. The original 17 districts established at the beginning of the 18th century were maintained throughout that century, and were the equivalent of the pedanías in other areas. This administrative structure was put in place in response to population increase in that era, and because the municipality was becoming less tractable.
context_section_description: Santa Lucía borders Cartagena Casco to the south-east, and adjoins the Mediterranean Sea to the south.
  The district has a population of 6,874, living in the following localities: Santa Lucía (3,335); Los Mateos (2,097); and Lo Campano (1,448).
  The main population centre, itself named Santa Lucía, was established during the era of Roman Hispania. It had a cemetery, and a sanctuary dedicated to Jupiter. The town was abandoned after destruction by the Vandals.
  In the 17th century, the battery of Trincabotijas was built.
  The 18th century saw an influx of immigrants to the Cartagena, attracted by the military construction work being undertaken in the town during that period. Due to a lack of space within the town walls, new arrivals settled in the surrounding neighbourhoods, including Santa Lucía.
  Doing the 18th century, music and dance shows were put on by Spanish and foreign companies, and theatrical performances both professional and amateur.
  In 1834, the Valarino family built a glass factory in this district.
  During the second quarter of the 19th century, lead deposits were found in the Sierra Almagrera mountains in the Province of Almería. As the export of raw minerals was forbidden, lead processing factories were established in the municipality of Cartagena, including the Franco-Española foundry built in Santa Lucía in 1842.
  The population centre of Lo Campano sprang up in the early 1970s.
