""The
Portuguese call Tangia "Tangiara". This great city was
built before the advent of Islam. Some historians falsely believe
that it was built by a ruler named Sedded, son of Had, who was ruler
of the world and wanted to build a city which would resemble Paradise
on Earth. He had the walls made of bronze and the houses of gold
and silver.
The
good historians say that Tangia was built by the Romans, on the
coast, in the days when they controlled Grenada."
(Leo, 263)
