Ceuta is a city in North Africa, at the Strait of Gibraltar. The City area is about 28 square kilometers, and there are over 71.000 people living in the city. The city is surrounded by a border fence, which has been built to keep the Moroccans (and other Africans) form immigrating illegally. Ceuta is part of Spain (and therefore the European Union). Until it became a self-governing city in 1994, it belonged to the Cadiz province.
It was built by the Phoenicians, at a strategic position.
