Archeology, fine arts and ethnology museum. Important collection of Phoenician World and Murillo, Zurbarán, Rubens, Zuloaga, Sorolla, Miró... paintings
Reviewed By Pensionado - Castricum, The Netherlands
This museum has a very interesting archaeological section with finds from all periods showing that the region around Cádiz was inhabited from Neolithic times on, making Cádiz the oldest, permanently inhabited city of Europe. Especially the unique Phoenician finds are worth seeing including two marble anthropoid sarcophaguses. On the first floor is the fine art collection with a room dedicated to the Spanish painter Zurbarán and another to Murillo. For everybody interested in ancient culture and art, this museum should not be missed.

Watch tower from the eighteenth century, situated in the down town and the highest point of the city, turned today into a focal point of cultural interest.

Great panoramic views of Cádiz, totally worth the climb. The camera oscura is also great. Marta was really really nice.

4. Gran Teatro Falla

Reviewed By MikeL383
Externally this is a wonderfully imposing building reflecting the mudejar influences with its promises of untold delights inside; seriously beautiful building! I did take a gamble to see a concert which was a mixture of flamenco, jazz, singing, guitar and dance; it paid off it was brilliant. Internally the decoration doesn't match up to the splendour of the Wakefield or Leeds Grand Theatres and the air conditioning was a bit lacking, but the overall atmosphere was superb. Another example of how Cadiz can enter into your soul.

This park is full of trees from around the world. There are fountains throughout the park making it a beautifully cool place to walk when the sun is hot. There is a cafe, childrens play area and lots of benches to watch the world go by. There is also an artificial water cascade which has steps to the top where you have a great view out to sea. Tranquil spot for a bit of contemplation...or a coffee and cake.

8. Mercado Central

Reviewed By Lozz29 - Cadiz, Spain
We stumbled across these markets by accident and so glad we did. More than 60 individual markets selling fresh fruit & vegetables, fish & seafood galore, olives, cheeses, hams, preserved meats, fresh meats and clothes on the outside. It was a hive of activity and a real treat to purchase fresh produce direct from the makers. We bought preserved tuna (aka ‘Ham of the Sea’) several varieties of olives and fruit. Be aware that it’s cash only.

10. El Populo

Reviewed By simply-peregrinating - Waddington, United Kingdom
Just to wander around and explore is a great way to spend time in old Cadiz. Plenty of tiny alleys, small squares, churches and interesting building facades. 13th century El Populo at it's heart with entrance arches is a great place to begin. Plenty of tiny shops too if you like shopping along with small bars and cafes.
