Cadiz is a city in the Southwest side of Spain. It is almost completely surrounded by the Mediterranean Sea. Cadiz is the first city that has ever been founded in the peninsula. The population of the city is over 127 thousand people. It is the capital city of the same name province, which is placed between those of Malaga and Seville. This city used to be a Roman port (and as a city of port it is very significant even today), which later on was conquered by the Visigoths and Moors. At the beginning of 19th century there was anti-monarchist movement founded in the city and the movement later created the first constitution of Spain.

Today the city has retained some of the buildings from the 18th of century, of which notable is the Landward Gate and the world-wide famous church of San Felipe Neri, which is where the government of Spain created the constitution, when the city was besieged by Napoleon’s forces. There is also a monument of Constitution dedicated to this event.

The old town is really charming and there are many landmarks worth visiting though, such as the Roman theatre, which is surprisingly well preserved since 1st century BC, or the Cathedral of Cadiz or La Santa Cueva. The city is especially abundant with its sacral buildings, beautiful squares and architecture. It seems rather Moorish, though there are evidences of other period of time and the newer buildings dominates in the architecture.

It is the closest to the old city and you can find it between two palaces. The other is the beach La Victoria, which, on the contrary, is located in the newer district of the city.
