Cartagena is an
ancient port city founded in 225 BC by the Carthaginians who named
it Quart Hadas. The Romans renamed the town Cathago Nova (new
Carthage) The city became less important over the centuries
until in the 18th century it became a major naval base. Surrounding
the ruins of the Castillo de la Conception is a park which gives a
good overview of the city. On the quayside stands a prototype
submarine built by Issac Peral in 1888. Some remains have been
excavated including a Roman street and a Byzantine wall built
between 589 and 590.
