The Palacio de Aguirre in Cartagena, Spain is a modernist building designed by architect Víctor Beltrí. After Beltri's successful completion of the Casa Cervantes [es], mining entrepreneur Camilo Aguirre had commissioned the architect in 1898 to construct this palace, completed in 1901.

Currently, it serves as the headquarters of the Region of Murcia in Cartagena and is also a part of the MURAM [es] (Regional Museum of Modern Art), inaugurated in 2009.

Notable features of the facade include ceramic decorations of angels at the top, a bay window in Cartagena's tradition, sculptural decorations of bees (a popular modernist symbol representing prosperity obtained through work), and the ceramic dome.^{[citation needed]}
