The name refers to the Latin name of the city Carthago Nova . It replaced the Estadio de El Almarjal ; in which FC Cartagena played from 1925 to 1987. Today it offers 15,105 places.

In return, Continente had to build a new stadium. The architecture firm CMMP Arquitectos (Cardona, Martín, Molina and Plaza) was responsible for the design of the two building measures .
