Santa Marta (named for the Biblical Martha) was the first city to be founded in Colombia and second in South America after Cumaná (1521) in Venezuela. It was was founded in July 29, 1526 by Spanish conqueror Rodrigo de Bastidas. It is located on the country's Caribbean coast, and was often raided by pirates throughout its early history.
It had a population of 521,482 in 2000 and is, today, an important port city. It serves as the departmental capital of Magdalena department.
Set against the backdrop of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, this city is one of great contrast. From the spanish colonial buildings of the old city to the modern luxury beach front apartments of Roderadero.
In recent years, Santa Marta has attracted large numbers of people displaced by the paramilitary groups operating throughout the interior of the country. The warm climate and the possibility of occasional work serving the tourist industry increasing the cities popularity.
