History [ edit ]

Main article: Rusazus

The Phoenicians and Carthaginians established a fortress south of Cape Corbelin as part of their chain of colonies between the Strait of Gibraltar and their homelands. They named the cape and its settlement R?Z ( Phoenician : ?????? , " Cape of the Fort "). [5]

The town fell under Roman hegemony after the Punic Wars . Under Augustus , the town was notionally refounded as a Roman colony , receiving the name Rusazus Colonia Augusti to honor its imperial benefactor. [5] The Roman-era bishopric continues as a Catholic titular see . [6]

Under colonial rule , Port Gueydon?named after a French admiral and colonial administrator ?was built on a nearby hillside in the last third of the 19th century.
