Historic Sites of Cádiz

Cádiz’s architectural heritage reflects its evolution from a medieval stronghold to an 18th-century maritime trade hub. The city is defined by its extensive defensive system, featuring the star-shaped Castle of Santa Catalina and the monumental Puerta de Tierra. Within the old quarter, the Baroque and Neoclassical cathedral stands alongside medieval city gates like the Arco de la Rosa. This collection also highlights unique merchant architecture, such as the watchtower-topped Casa de las Cuatro Torres, and significant religious sites like the Oratorio de San Felipe Neri.
