About Cádiz
Cádiz is one of Europe's oldest cities, set on a narrow Atlantic peninsula in Andalusia, with white streets, a gold-domed cathedral and fried-fish bars.
Cádiz was founded by Phoenician traders about three thousand years ago as Gadir and still stands on a slim spit of land almost surrounded by the Atlantic. The old town is a grid of narrow lanes, plazas and watchtowers. The cathedral, with its golden dome, stands by the sea, the Torre Tavira holds a camera obscura that projects the city, and a Roman theatre was uncovered beneath the old quarter. A monument in Plaza de España commemorates the liberal constitution drafted here in 1812.
Top-ranked sights in Cádiz: La Caleta Beach, Genovés Park (Parque Genovés), El Pópulo.
