The history of the Castle Sancti Petri
The Castle
On the island of Sancti Petri stand the ruins of one of the most famous temples in the West, dedicated by the Phoenicians to their god Hercules Melkart, protector of sailors and merchants.
The origins of the temple go back to the times of the Phoenician settlement that founded the archipelago of Gadeira, composed of 3 islands (Kotinussa, Erytheia and Antipolis), raising a sanctuary to Melkart in the eastern part of the island (Kotinussa) and the city in the western part (Erytheia)…
