You're right, Caesarea was the Roman name of a city that was founded
by Phoenicians.

I can only find the Greek name "Stratonos Pyrgos" (Straton's tower) of
this city, if nobody knows its Phoenician name, I'll replace
"Caesarea" with "Stratonos Pyrgos".

Or do a google search on malaga "founded by"

Or google for almuñécar "founded by"
