Setting

Cádiz is located on a peninsula that juts out from a bay and is almost completely surrounded by the sea. His story is exciting. Named Gadir by the Phoenicians, who founded their trading post in 1100 BC. C., later it was controlled by the Carthaginians, until it became a prosperous Roman port. It sank into oblivion under the Visigoths and Arabs, but reached great splendor in the early 16th century as a starting point for the journey to the newly discovered lands of America. Cádiz was later assaulted by Sir Francis Drake, in the fight to gain control of trade with the New World, and managed to resist the siege of Napoleon's army, a fact that the people of Cádiz still report with pride. At the beginning of the 19th century, Cádiz became the bastion of Spain's anti-monarchical and liberal movement, as a result of which, the country's first Constitution was declared here, in Cádiz, in 1812.

Some of the city's 18th-century walls still stand. Cádiz's old and central town is famous for its picturesque charm and many of the buildings reflect the city's ties to other lands. It is worth visiting the city's Cathedral and the churches of Santa Cruz and San Felipe Neri, which is famous throughout Spain for being the place where, defying Napoleon's siege, the provisional government with its own liberal Constitution was established. Other points of interest are the Roman Theater, La Santa Cueva, home to several Goya paintings, and stately mansions such as the Casa del Almirante and the Casa de las Cadenas. Magnificent, the archaeological pieces of the Museum of Cádiz, highlighting the Punic sarcophagi and the Torre Tavira with its dark chamber that reveals the labyrinthine geography of Cádiz from the air.
