The city is located at the centre of a bay surrounded by mountain systems and founded by Phoenicians in the 8th century BCE, making it one of the oldest cities in Europe. Málaga has been declared a Historic Site. Few cities in the world display such a wide overlay of traces that show the passage of civilisations throughout the centuries, from both the East and the West, in such a small urban area. Phoenician, Punic, Roman, Arab and other remains make the centre of the city a true historical palimpsest where different monuments coexist.
