In earlier times, Suakin was an important port; there are a number of references to Venetian merchants residing at Suakin, and Massawa in the 14th century. O. G. S. Crawford believed that this city was a center of Christianity in the 13th century; there is evidence that this city was a departure point for Ethiopian pilgrims for Jerusalem until Selim I conquered the port in 1517.
