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.

My husband and I both found this site fascinating. We showed up at the box office around 11:30 and got free tickets for the one o’clock tour. Our guide spoke both Spanish and English and after the introductory film (subtitled in English) we were free to walk around the clearly described remains of Phoenician homes and streets. Our guide asked if we had any questions and spent a good half hour explaining things to us. She was very knowledgeable and we felt lucky to have her to ourselves. If you’re interested in history this is definitely worth seeking out.

If you love puppets you'll love this museum. Unfortunately it's all in Spanish, but the quality and beauty of the puppets almost doesn't need any explanation. The museum is open all day and is free, so if you want a relaxing hour wandering amongst puppets in the cool this is the place for you.
