Byblos is sister city with my home town, Cádiz
Byblos is believed to have been founded around 5000 BC, and according to fragments attributed to the semi-legendary pre-Trojan war Phoenician historian Sanchuniathon, it was built by Cronus as the first city in Phoenicia.

Settled from the Neolithic (carbon-dating tests have set the age of earliest settlement around 7000), a "town" since the 3rd millennium BC. Byblos had a reputation as the "oldest city in the world" in Antiquity
