Ceuta

Seuta – a historical exclave of Spain on the African coast of the Mediterranean Sea at the very entrance to the Strait of Gibraltar. The fortress city occupies a small peninsula that juts heavily into the sea. Since ancient times, Ceuta has been of strategic importance for maritime trade and military operations. Ceuta was a Francoist base before the beginning of the Spanish Civil War. Since 1993, Ceuta has been separated from Morocco by a border wall. Of course, Ceuta has preserved many historical sites from different eras and offers tourists beaches, museums and parks.
