The History of Tangier is very interesting, because of its unique location it was always a target to conquer for many empires since the beginning of mankind. It was founded as a Phoenician colony, as early as the 10th century BC (possibly) and almost certainly by the 8th century BC. It went from there to the The Carthaginians that added it to their empire around the 5th century BC. next Tangier got under the rule of the Mauretanian kings, followed by the Romans. The Greeks knew this town as Tingis, Legend says that Tinjis that is the daughter of Atlas, slept with Hercules and bore him the son Syphax. After Tinjis' death, Syphax founded the port and named it in her honour. The story goes on by telling that Hercules took a rest on Cape Spartel during his labors in what's called now "Cave of Hercules" (Watch video of Hercules cave here:    • Cape Spartel - Hercules Cave  - Tangi...  )..
