Filmed April 2018
The town was originally named Mastia. Possessing one of the best harbors in the Western Mediterranean, it was re-founded by the Carthaginian general Hannabel (Hasdrubal) in 228 BC as Qart Hadasht (New City), identically named to Carthage, for the purpose of serving as a stepping-off point for the conquest of Spain.
The Roman general Scipio Africanus conquered it in 209 BC and renamed it as Carthago Nova (literally New New City) to distinguish it from the mother city. Julius Caesar gave the town Latin Rights, and Octavian renamed it in his honor as the colony Colonia Victrix Iulia Nova Carthago or Colonia Vrbs Iulia Nova Carthago (C. V. I. N. C.) depending on the source.
The city was very relevant both in the Carthaginian and the Roman conquest of the Iberian Peninsula. In 298 AD, Diocletian constituted a new Roman province in Hispania called Carthaginensis and settled the capital in this city. It remained important until it was sacked by the Vandals in 435 AD.
During the Roman period, it was the site of major silver mines, yielding a daily revenue of 25,000 drachmae. It was known also for the production of garum, a fermented fish sauce, and for esparto grass[9] which granted it a new name, Cartago Spartaria.

Cartagena, a short visit - Spain 4K Travel Channel
The morning in Murcia welcomes us with sunshine. The perfect day for a short visit to Cartagena on the southeast coast of Spain. The second largest city of the region Murcia lies at the Costa Cálida, only 50 km away from the city of Murcia. We reach Cartagena after about 40 minutes via a well-developed motorway.
The city with more than 200,000 inhabitants was founded by the Iberians, who operated silver mines here. The Carthaginians conquered the city and refounded it in 227 BC.
At that time, the Carthaginians conquered most of the Iberian Peninsula. In 209 BC the Romans conquered the city. For the Romans, Carthago Nova remained the most important silver mining region of the Roman Empire up to the 6th century AD. 40,000 people worked in the silver mines at that time.
In the 16th century, Philipp II made Cartagena an important naval base, which the city remained until today. Its sheltered location in a bay made Cartagena the main naval base in the entire Mediterranean.
Due to its importance, the city was repeatedly embattled by the Carthaginians and Romans as well as by English, French, and in the times of the civil war also by the Spaniards.
Today, Cartagena is the seat of the Parliament of the Murcia region.
Entering Cartagena, we see Peral on a traffic island. Peral was the first, fully functional, electrically powered military submarine. It could carry out its first diving trips in 1888.
On this day, we have only limited time. So we first go to the Tourist Information to inform ourselves about the most important sights and to get a city map.
We stop shortly before the university and the Centro de Interpretación de la Muralla Púnica, the archaeological visitor center. Integrated with the ruins of the defensive walls of Carthago Nova, dating from around 300 BC.
The friendly employees of the Tourism Information also show us the possibility to park for free at another building of the university. But there is no parking lot available and we drive to the underground car park at the harbor.

Der Morgen in Murcia begrüßt uns mit Sonnenschein. Der perfekte Tag für einen Kurzbesuch in Cartagena an der Südostküste Spaniens. Die zweitgrößte Stadt der Region Murcia liegt an der Costa Cálida nur 50 km von der Stadt Murcia entfernt. Über eine gut ausgebaute Autobahn erreichen wir nach rund 40 Minuten Cartagena.
Die Stadt mit mehr als 200.000 Einwohner wurde ursprünglich von den Iberern gegründet, die hier Silberbergwerke betrieben. 227 v. Chr. wurde sie von den Karthagern erobert und neu gegründet.
Zu jener Zeit eroberten die Karthager den größten Teil der Iberischen Halbinsel. 209 v. Chr. Eroberten die Römer die Stadt. Carthago Nova blieb für die Römer bis in das 6.Jh. n. Chr. Die wichtigste Silberabbauregion des römischen Reiches. 40.000 Menschen arbeiteten damals in den Silberbergwerken.
Im 16. Jahrhundert machte Philipp II. Cartagena zu einem wichtigen Marinestützpunkt, der die Stadt bis heute ist. Die geschützte Lage in einer Bucht machte Cartagena zur größten Marinebasis im gesamten Mittelmeer.
Auf Grund seiner Bedeutung war die Stadt immer wieder umkämpft, nicht nur von den Karthagern und Römern, sondern auch von Engländer, Franzosen und in Bürgerkriegszeiten auch von den Spaniern.
Heute ist Cartagena Sitz des Parlaments der Region Murcia.
Bei der Ankunft in Cartagena sahen wir gleich in einem Kreisverkehr Peral, das erste voll funktionsfähige elektrisch angetriebene Militär-U-Boot. Seine ersten Tauchfahrten konnte es 1888 durchführen.
Wir haben an diesem Tag sehr wenig Zeit, also fahren wir erst zur Touristen Information, um uns über die wichtigsten Sehenswürdigkeiten zu informieren und einen Stadtplan zu bekommen.
Wir halten kurz vor der Universität und dem Centro de Interpretación de la Muralla Púnica, dem archäologischen Besucherzentrum. Es ist integriert in die Ruinen der Verteidigungsmauern Carthago Nova, ca. 300 v. Chr.
Die freundlichen Angestellten der Tourismus Information, zeigen uns auch noch bei einem anderen Gebäude der Universität eine Möglichkeit kostenlos zu parken, doch dort sind alle Parkplätze belegt, so dass wir in die Tiefgarage am Hafen fahren.

Places to see in ( Murcia - Spain ) Cartagena
Cartagena is a port city and naval base in the Murcia region of southeast Spain. Founded by the Carthaginians around 220 B.C., the city boomed during the Roman period. Among its many Roman ruins are a 1st-century B.C. theater and Casa de la Fortuna, a villa with murals and mosaics. The Muralla Púnica (Punic Wall) interpretation center houses the remains of a 3rd-century B.C. defensive wall.
The port of Cartagena, in the Mediterranean's Costa Cálida, has been prized since Carthaginian times. Thanks to its strategic position on the Murcia coast, it has been inhabited by several cultures which have left their mark on its artistic heritage. A tour of the place and its museums will draw us into the history of a city closely tied to the sea.
This maritime enclave was already known to the Carthaginians and Romans, and its name today comes from the Latin, Cartago Nova. Cartagena was under Arab domination until Ferdinand III 'the Saint' reconquered it and incorporated it into the kingdom of Castile. Its port played a key role in the War of Succession and the Peninsular War.
The rich Carthaginian heritage spreads to the shores of its marina. The Muralla del Mar ('Sea Wall'), built by Charles III (18th century), delimits the old quarter. Overlooking the Mediterranean there is an element which is clearly connected with the sea: the prototype of the submarine by the inventor from Cartagena, Isaac Peral. In addition, the National Museum of Underwater Archaeology ARQUA (at Paseo Alfonso XII, 22) houses the National Centre for Underwater Archaeological Research. The findings on display reveal aspects of naval construction, trade and navigation since ancient times.
The entrance to the city centre is dominated by the Town Hall, a gem of modernist architecture dating from the early 20th century. The Old Cathedral is located on the Camino del Parque Torres (behind the Muralla del Mar wall). This is the oldest place of worship in CartagenaCartagena (13th century), and stands on the remains of a Roman theatre discovered in 1987. This construction dates from the first century A.D., and together with the theatre in Mérida, is one of the most important in Spain. The items found on this site can be seen in the Museum of the Roman Theatre.
Other examples of Roman splendour to be seen in the city are the archaeological site of El Molinete, the Morería Baja colonnade and the Byzantine Wall, which –despite its name– is also Roman. Particularly worth mentioning are the Augusteum and the Decumanus. The first contains the remains of the old forum, whose importance as a public building can be seen from the luxurious marble floors on display at the site. The second can be visited on the site adjoining the Roman Forum quarter, a key centre for visitors to the city, containing the different rooms in the city's Roman baths. The Casa Fortuna, built in the first century B.C. and belonging to a wealthy family, shows what daily life was like at the time of the Roman Empire.
The Torres park is the site of the Concepción castle. Standing atop a hill, it served as a fortress to Carthaginians, Romans, Visigoths, Arabs and Castilians, and now houses the History and Mediaeval Cartagena Visitor Centre. Indeed the city has always had numerous defensive military buildings. A good example is the Navidad Fortress, built in the mid-19th century and today the Visitor Centre for the Defensive Architecture of Cartagena and the Mediterranean. Also worth visiting is the Refuge – Civil War museum, a series of galleries which were used as protection from aerial attack throughout the conflict.
