Defensa inaugura la exposición de homenaje a Don Blas de Lezo

Blas de Lezo y Olavarrieta also known as "Patapalo" (Pegleg), and later as "Mediohombre" (Half-man) for the many wounds suffered in his long military life, was a Spanish admiral, and one of the greatest strategists and commanders in the history of the Spanish Navy. He is best known for his successful defence of Cartagena in 1741 against an overwhelming British fleet commanded by admiral Edward Vernon.
