Cartagena
Port city (pop., 1991: 167,000), SE Spain. Founded by the Carthaginians under Hasdrubal in 227 BC, it was captured by Scipio Africanus the Elder in 209 BC and made a Roman colony. It was sacked by the Goths in AD 425. It was held by the Moors from 711 until it was taken by James I of Aragon in 1269. In the 16th cent. Philip II made it a great naval port; it remains Spain's chief Mediterranean naval base as well as a commercial port.
City (pop., 1997 est.: 812,000), Colombia. Located on the NW coast, it has a good harbor and is Colombia's principal oil port. Founded in 1533, it became one of Spanish America's chief cities. It was strongly fortified and often attacked, notably by British forces under F. Drake (1585) and Edward Vernon (1741). It remained under Spanish control until 1815, when it was taken by S. Bolí var. Though soon lost, it was retaken by independence forces in 1821. It declined in the 19th cent., but regained prominence in the 20th cent. as an oil-processing center.
