Cartagena Spain: A Quick Look at the Roman Theatre and Port

Cartagena Spain was a short cruise stop for us, so we focused on the Roman Theatre and the shops right beside the port. Cartagena is a port city in the Region of Murcia, on Spain’s southeastern Mediterranean coast. The city has a population of over 217,000 people. Cartagena is known for its historic center, where Carthaginian, Roman and naval history sit side by side. The city’s architecture is a mix of Spanish, Moorish, and Roman influences. The city’s main attractions include the Roman Theatre and its museum, the Castillo de la Concepción with its panoramic lift, and the National Museum of Underwater Archaeology (ARQVA).

Cartagena is also a popular tourist destination due to its proximity to the Mediterranean Sea. The city’s beaches are a major draw for visitors, and the city also has a number of museums and art galleries.
