Tourist attractions in Ceuta

I was looking up a cruise for someone the other when I noticed a city on the itinerary that I'd never seen before. As it was a fairly standard cruise to the Canaries you can imagine this surprised me., I thought I knew all the ports of call in that area.
The more I read about it though, the more interesting it sounded so I decided to put together a little guide for you of "what is there to do in Ceuta" if you ever find yourself there.

First of what and where is Ceuta?

It's an 18.5sq Kilometre city of Spain but is located on the northern tip of Africa surrounded by Morocco.
It's separated from mainland Spain by the straights of Gibraltar and lies on the border of the Mediterranean Sea and Atlantic Ocean. It's also one of only two Spanish territory's located in mainland Africa.
It has a population of over 75,000 people and whilst Morocco has called for negotiations over the future of the city, in a recent poll 87.9% of the native Spaniards voted to remain part of Spain.

So, it certainly sounds interesting, but what is there to do there?

What with Ceuta first being a Roman Naval base, then being fought over by the Moroccan Sultans, Spanish Princes and Portuguese kings; one of your first stops should be to the City Walls.

The fortifications were originally built by the Byzantines and later improved on by the Portuguese and Spanish in the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries. Artillery emplacements and cannons are placed at different heights to defend the city against outside attackers.

Museo Municipal - The Museo Municipal is the main museum in Ceuta. It only has a small collection of artifacts showcasing the peninsula’s archaeological finds from the Stone Age through to the Islamic era. The highlight is the Phoenician and Roman periods, with ceramics and amphorae in display. It's probably worth bearing in mind though that all the labels will be in Spanish.

Museo de la Legion - One of the really interesting, (and I think), must see stops has to be this museum. It's a museum dedicated to nothing but the Spanish Foreign Legion, (not the French), and memorabilia will include uniforms, weapons and paraphernalia marking campaigns up to the Bosnian War. The big plus to this destination though is that tours are available in English!

So, have you ever been to Ceuta? What did you think? Would you recommend it to others? Would you go again?

Happy cruising.
