The Ancient City Of Cartagena

Spanish attractions

Summer is already knocking on our doors, so we have to prepare for the much deserved holidays. These days when all you want to do is to forget about the agitation of the city are days when you want to enjoy the warm sun, the crystal clear waters, perhaps a delicate beach, a fine restaurant and the traditions and customs of a place you have never visited before.

Millions of tourists choose Spain because they find the country a very diverse one; well, they are not mistaken! Spain is the type of country where you find a lot of interesting history, a rich cultural and artistic heritage, breathtaking landscapes, lots of clubs, bars and pubs that offer good mood and a lot of fun and last but not the least, a lot of relaxation. You have to choose it! You will not regret your choice!

Visiting Cartagena

Cartagena patiently waits for its visitors in the south-eastern part of the country. What most attracts tourists to Cartagena is its impressive history. When you visit Cartagena, you feel the history coming out from every street, every monument, every old house and every wall.

You will love it, especially if you are one of those who adore finding out interesting details related to the past of a place. What is wonderful about Cartagena is that the city was founded in 223 BC in ancient times. The Carthaginians were the ones who founded it but they lost the city in favor of the Romans.

The Arabs also showed interest in Cartagena as in many other Spanish cities and villages. All these civilizations left their mark in Cartagena and all these marks are visible today and much appreciated by tourists. For example, you are not allowed to miss the Punic ramparts or the ancient lighthouse that dates back from the time of the Moors.

Enjoying Cartagena

Cartagena has always been a commercial centre and like all commercial centers, it always flourished, regardless of the historical and economical period.

The city is absolutely beautiful and if you want to visit it and feel its atmosphere at the same time, do not hesitate to choose a tour from the top of an open bus. If you want to visit it by foot, make sure you do not miss the ancient remains of the old city or the historical buildings. Enjoy Cartagena!
