A little history/geography quiz

Ok I'm thinking Barcelona was named after Fernando Barcelona, the famous Spaniard.

I am not sure of the Cartegenia connection. Maybe something to do with The Moors?

No ..... not even close I'm afraid. It's a long time before the Moors (even Archie)

I seem to recall there was a connection between Hannibal and Spain, damned if I remember what it was though. Maybe he was born there, or trained, or educated.

That's very good .....

The Carthaginians conquered most of Spain and built lots of new cities. Cartagena was one of them (meaning literally 'Carthage' in the local dialect)

The grand mind and power behind all this expansion was Hannibal's father, and the city was named after their family - Hannibal, Hamilcar and Hasdrubal's surname was Barca ...... hence Barcelona.

Nice to get a question that stumped everyone !!!!!!
