Que faire à Cadix

Cádiz City Essentials

Cádiz, Western Europe's oldest continuously inhabited city, is defined by its 18th-century golden-domed cathedral and ancient defensive structures. This collection highlights the city's archaeological depth, from the 1st-century BC Roman Theatre to the 173-step Tavira Tower. The list covers essential landmarks including the star-shaped Castle of Santa Catalina, the neoclassical central market, and the botanical collections of Parque Genovés, all framed by the historic Puerta de Tierra walls and the Atlantic shoreline of La Caleta.
