OVERVIEW
Situated on a peninsula jutting out into a bay, the city of Cadiz was originally named Gadir by the Phoenicians. It achieved its fame at the beginning of the 16th century when ships sailing to the newly discovered lands of America made it a launching port. In the early 19th century Cadiz became renowned again when the country's first Constitution was declared in 1812.
Visitors can still enjoy some of the city's 18th century walls, such as the Landward Gate. The old, central quarter of Cadiz is famous for its charming buildings which reflect the city's overseas links. Some places worth visiting are the city's Cathedral and the churches of Santa Cruz and San Felipe Neri, which is known as the place where a provisional government was set up during Napoleon's siege. Other points of interest are La Santa Cueva, displaying several paintings by Goya, and stately mansions such as the Casa del Almirante and Casa de las Cadenas.
