Cartagena, Spain

ENG
Today I'm taking you to the Spanish city of Cartagena, maybe not that famous as others in Spain, but it's a place full of history. It was founded by Hasdrubal as Qart Hadasht which means "New City" and then to Carthago Nova (New New City) refering to Carthage in Tunisia as the first city. It was really interesting for me because I already saw the Tunisian one. Cartagena was very important both in the Carthaginian and the Roman conquest of the Iberian peninsula. Today you can see a cultural mix of Roman ruins and Baroque, Neo-clasical and modern architecture. Its Roman Theatre is the second largest in Spain after the one in Merida and the city's port is one the most famous cruiser destinations. 

See the statue on the first photo? I was so surprised when I saw it again because I saw it for the first time in Salamanca in 2006 when I took my very first Spanish lessons, and now it found me again, 7 years later and so far away from the first spot! 

Many of you told me how much you like my travel posts and I'm so glad because it's my pleasure to share with you those special moments and take you on these little virtual trips. Hope you like this one as well! :)

Hoy os llevo a Cartagena, una ciudad española quizá no tan famosa como otras, pero llena de historia. Cartagena fue fundada como Qart Hadasht (Nueva Ciudad) por Asdrúbal el Bello y luego su nombre cambió en Carthago Nova (Nueva Nueva Ciudad) referiéndose a Cartago en Túnez como la primera ciudad. Yo ya estuve en Cartago en Túnez y por eso fue aun más interesante conocer su versión española. Cartagena fue muy importante en la conquista romana de la península ibérica. Hoy en día se puede ver una mezcla cultural entre los restos de la época romana y el estilo barroco, neoclásico y moderno en la arcitectura de la ciduad. Su teatro romano es el segudo más grande de la península, después del teatro en Mérida y el puerto de Cartagena es uno de los destinos más famosos para los cruceros. 

¿Veis la estatua en la primera foto? Me sorprendí mucho cuando la volví a ver porque la vi por primera vez en Salamanca en 2006 cuando empecé a estudiar español y ahora nos encontramos de nuevo, 7 años después y en otra punta del país! 

Muchas de vosotras me han dicho que les encantan mis posts de viajes y me alegro tanto porque me hace mucha ilusión compartir con vosotras esos momentos especiales y llevaros a estos pequeños viajes virtuales. ¡Espero que este os guste también! :)

Danas vas vodim u Kartahenu, gradić na jugoistoku Španije, na prvu pomisao ne tako poznat kao neki drugi španski gradovi, ali mesto puno istorije. Kartahenu je osnovao Hazdrubal pod imenom Qart Hadasht što znači Novi Grad, a kasnije je grad dobio naziv Carthago Nova (Novi Novi Grad) a prvi grad se odnosio na Kartaginu u Tunisu. Meni je put u Kartahenu bio zbog toga još zanimljiviji jer sam već posetila njenu prvu verziju u Tunisu. Kartahena je bila važna u rimskom osvajanju Iberijskog poluostrva. Danas dok šetate gradom možete videti pravu kulturnu mešavinu, rimske ruševine i barokne, neoklasičarske i moderne građevine. Rimski teatar u Kartaheni je posle teatra u Meridi najveći na poluostrvu, a luka u Kartaheni je jedna od najpoznatijih destinacija za mnoge kruzere. 

Jel vidite statuu na prvoj slici? Jako sam se iznenadila kada sam je ponovo ugledala jer sam je prvi put videla u Salamanki 2006. godine kada sam počela da učim španski, a sada, 7 godina kasnije sam je ponovo našla i to na sasvim suprotnom kraju Španije! 

Mnogi od vas su mi rekli da im se jako sviđaju moji postovi sa putovanja i mnogo mi je drago zbog toga, zadovoljstvo mi je da podelim sa vame te posebne trenutke i da vas odvedem na ova mala virtuelna putovanja. Nadam se da će vam se i ovo svideti! :)

Kako li si mi samo lijepa u ovim pastelnim tonovima, divno ti stoje i sve mi se svidja od glave do pete :-) Posjetila sam tunisku Kartagu, ali spanjosku nazalost nisam imala priliku... mjestasce izgleda predivno, a tvoje fotkice ocaravajuce kao uvijek! Da, definitivno volim putovati s tobom :-)

  17. Preskocicu komentarisanje outfita, u mojim si bojama i to je dovoljno reci.
    Gradjevine su me impresionirale, a statua sa prve slike posebno. Odusevi me kada umetnik toliko detaljno odradi ljudsko telo, u toj meri ide u detalje da se vide vene i misici - potpuno genijalno.

    1. Da, sve je jasno :D
      Baš sam i pomislila kako će se tebi posebno dopasti, stekla sam utisak da voliš takvu vrstu umetnosti...Jeste, genijalno je, nažalost ne znam ni ko je autor, niti bilo kakav podatak, a ne sumnjam da ću nekada ponovo naići na tu skulpturu ;)

  18. Znači- Wow. Ovo ti je jedan od boljih postova, tj. ovo su jedne od najboljih fotografija. Mnogo volim fotografiju, i kada vidim ovako nešto ja se jako oduševljavam. Statua je fantastična, prva fotka mi je omiljena, a nebo koje si uhvatila je preeedivno! Moram da pohvalim i outfit. Odlično si uklopila boje i baš nekako idu uz tebe, uz ten, kosu, uz tu svetlost koju je tvoj mužić uhvatio dok te je fotografisao. Stvarno savršeno!

    1. Hvala ti puno na ovakvom komentaru! Ne samo zbog komplimenata nego što mi je zaista drago kad neko uoči više stvari i ikaže svoje mišljenje. Kao što verovatno već svi znaju moj muž jako voli fotografiju ( a i ja), pritom je dan bio nekako poseban, pa eto i rezultata. I naravno, stvarno ima i šta da se uslika. A što se boja tiče, bilo je tako divno i sunčano da sam se osećala kao da je proleće pa eto pastelnih boja :)
