Tarraco 

(present-day Tarragona), an ancient Iberian settlement on the Mediterranean Sea. In 218 B.C, Tarraco was conquered by the Romans. Under Julius Caesar’s rule, about 50 B.C., a Roman colony was established there, and from the late first century B.C, it was the capital of Hispania Tarraconensis Province. Tarraco was destroyed in A.D. 264 by the Franks. In 469 it was conquered by the Visigoths, and in 714 by the Arabs.
