What is the origin of Cartagena and when was it founded?
Answer (En)
Cartagena was founded on June 1, 1533, by Spanish conquistador Pedro de Heredia. The site was chosen for its strategic location along the Caribbean coast, which provided a natural harbor ideal for shipping and defense. Heredia named the city after Carthage, the ancient North African city, due to its resemblance to the port city. Cartagena quickly became vital to the Spanish Empire, serving as a key point for the export of gold and other treasures from the Americas to Spain. Its establishment marked the beginning of a rich and complex history, characterized by its role as a major trade center and a battleground for various colonial powers.
