Melilla is a little piece of Spain in northern Africa. Is situated in the mediterranean coast of Morocco in the Gareb region (eastern region), near the city of Nador, in the Kelaya (Castles place)
The Autonomous City of Melilla is a city of Phoenician origin. Attracted by its strategic position in the Mediterranean, the Phoenicians established themselves on Melilla's current site in the 7th century B. C.
Rusadir, as the city was known, became a flourishing trading port. Centuries later, then a Roman colony, it came to be an important communications centre. Melilla reached its most splendid age with the Arabs, as a trading and defensive city. From 1497, it passed into Spanish hands and became an important military establishment.
