There is an archaeological site dating back to the 3rd century BC

Spanish Mediterranean Coast Tour ~ Murcia (Region) The ancient city of Qat Hadasht was founded in 227 BC. The Carthaginian general, Hasdrubal the Fair, built walls to protect it from possible attacks. The city's defenses played an important role in the attack on Cartagena during the Second Punic War, which ultimately fell to the Roman general Scipio Africanus. The remains of the Punic walls of Cartagena are one of the few defensive remains of this period that have survived in the Iberian Peninsula. It follows the Hellenistic model and consists of a double parallel tower wall, which currently maintains a height of more than three meters. Next to the wall is the basement of the Old Hermitage of San Jose, a Catholic temple built in the 16th century. The tomb is oval in shape, with 110 niches and an altar on the walls. The well-preserved frescoes are striking, depicting the Dance of Death, with four skeletons dancing on a sarcophagus and a coffin. #JanuaryDestinations2025 #SpainTravel #Murcia
