209 B.C. Publius Cornelius Scipio arrives at the Carthaginian bastion, conquering it for Rome. It will be called Cartago Nova and its capture will be key in taking possession of the rest of Hispania.

S. VI A.D. It temporarilly becomes the capital of the Byzantine Empire in Hispania, being named Cartago Spartaria.

After the Muslim arrival and their conquest, it will become a Muslim city with a mosque, integrated in the Tudmir cora, changing its name to Medina de Qartyanna al-Halfa.

S. XIII, XIV and XV It was reconquered and christianized, being characterized by its small population due to the epidemics caused by the many diseases coming from the dry lagoon. Most of its population will travel north, settling in the area of Murcia, still in the process of being founded.
