Cartagena

Cartagena is an interesting city in the south of Spain with a lot of Roman history. It was founded in 221 BC. by the North African army commander Hasdrubal, who found the city strategic to conquer more inland areas. The city was called 'Qart chadast' (New City), just like the city of Carthago in Tunesia. In 209 B.C. the Romans conquered the city and made it part of the Roman Empire under the name of Carthago Nova. The harbor with our catamaran was very close to the old city and with our drone we made a movie of the Roman Theatre behind the harbor. The Roman Theatre in Cartagena was the largest amphitheatre in the Roman Empire at that time: 11.000 visitors could be there.
