Sagunto

Town in the province of Valencia, western Spain, on the River Palancia, 29 km/18 mi north of Valencia city; population (1991 est) 55,400. It has steelworks, and a large orange trade. Teruel iron ore is exported from its port, 5 km/3 mi away on the Mediterranean coast. There are remains of a Roman theatre and circus, and it is overlooked by a citadel of Iberian, Roman, and Moorish origins.

The sacking of the town by Hannibal in 219 BC precipitated the second of the Punic Wars; after a siege of eight months, the inhabitants killed themselves rather than surrender to the Carthaginians.
