Cartagena

With one of the world’s most remarkable natural harbors and abundant mineral resources, Cartagena has been a coveted location for centuries. The Carthaginians significantly contributed to its development as an ancient trading center in the 3rd century BC before it succumbed to Roman conquest.

Founded in 227 B.C. by the Carthaginian Hasdrubal the Fair, Cartagena, a vibrant port city on Spain’s southeast Mediterranean coast, has a long history with numerous monuments documenting the legacy of many civilizations.
