Cartago was founded in 1563 by Spanish settlers led by Juan Vasquez de Coronado, and served as the capital of Costa Rica for nearly two centuries. The city's central location made it a convenient hub for trade and transportation, and it soon became a prosperous settlement. However, Cartago's fortunes changed in the early 19th century, when a series of devastating earthquakes destroyed much of the city. The capital was then moved to the more stable city of San José, and Cartago entered a period of decline.
