History of Ceuta

The city was founded by the Phoenicians and conquered by the Greeks. In the year 319 BC, Cartago recovered Ceuta, back to Punic hands. In 201, Cartago was defeated in war. In 47 BC, it was conquered by Mauritania. In the year 40 AD, Caligula annexed the territory becoming part of the Roman Empire. North Africa and Ceuta were settled by the Vandals in 429. In 534, the city was reconquered by the Byzantine General Belisarius. The domination was short, passing afterwards under Visigoth rule. In 709, the city was conquered by the Moors, due to the internal dispute of the Visigoths.

In the 14th century, being a part of the Granada Kingdom, the city was part of the Mediterranean Castile, however in the year of 1309 the city was taken by the Fes Kingdom with Aragonese support. The city was conquered the 21st of August of 1415, by Don Duarte and Don Enrique (the Seafarer) for the Kingdom of Portugal. In 1668, the Spanish sovereignty over Ceuta was recognized by a treaty with Portugal. In the 20th century the population increased and in the 1920s it became an economic, social and cultural boom. There was just something that worried the city, the war. But it finished in 1927, and afterwards nothing was an obstacle to its future.

Citizens of Ceuta are not different from the rest of Spaniards, and in 1931 the 2nd republic was welcomed with enthusiasm. But the Moroccan army uprose in 1937 and the city fell under garrison hands and it produced a civil war. In 1955 it became independent from Morocco. With a politic transition, after Franco, an autonomist movement will have important reactions during the Socialist government, with a crowded manifestation in 1986, in Madrid, and in 1994, it was declared an autonomous city.

Ceuta Traditions

The most important fest of the year is Carnival, with several parades and the still traditional ‘ Entierro de la Caballa’ (Mackerel’s Funeral). Costume competitions and its funny music bands that take up the streets of Ceuta and the most popular sceneries. During the Corpus Christi procession there are carpets of flowers, and all the members of the Assembly of the autonomous city are present, without distinctions of political or religious creeds, carrying the royal standard of the city.

The 2nd of September is the official day of the Ceuta autonomous city. The 1st of November is the day of All Saints, and the tradition is to stay all day in the countryside to have lunch. The bonfires of St. John are very popular during the St. John day and the beaches of ‘la Ribera’ and ‘ el Chorrillo’ are always full of people celebrating the shortest night of the year. There are concerts and the popular ‘Juanillo’ is burned, with a fireworks display. The tradition of bathing in the sea during the midnight brings luck.

Other religious festivities are: the Holly Week, St Antonio procession, Our Lady of Carmen and Saint Daniel. The 5th of August was chosen in 1575 to honor the city patron saint, Our Lady of Africa.
