Cartagena
Description
From its Carthaginian birth to its role as one of Spain's naval headquarters, Cartagena has maintained powerful ties to the sea. This program illustrates the importance of the city's maritime foundation, guiding students through prominent features of Cartagena and its fortified harbor. The Navy's diving school, its submarine fleet base, and the National Museum of Marine Archaeology are all explored, along with the Sea Music festival, Holy Week events, and colorful reenactments of Punic War battles.
