Cartagena has been inhabited for over two millennia, being founded around 227 BC. Cartagena is a Spanish city and a major naval station located in the Region of Murcia, on the Mediterranean coast, south-eastern Iberia. Much of the historical signifiance of Cartagena stemmed from its coveted defensive port, one of the most important in the western Mediterranean.As far back as the 16th century it was one of the most important naval ports in Spain, together with Ferrol in the North. It is still an important naval seaport, the main military haven of Spain, and is home to a large naval shipyard. Cartagena is now established as a major cruise ship destination in the Mediterranean and an emerging cultural focus.
It was the first of a number of cities that have been named Cartagena, most notably Cartagena, Colombia.
