About Baelo Claudia, Cádiz province
Roman settlers founded Baelo Claudia on the strait of Gibraltar coast in the second century BCE, and Emperor Claudius later granted it municipal status. The town grew wealthy from fish salting and the production of garum, a fermented fish sauce prized throughout the Roman world. Its harbor linked southern Spain with Roman North Africa.
