Comment

Located on the bay of its same name and surrounded by the sea, Cádiz is the southernmost capital of Europe. Since its founding by the Phoenicians around 1100 BC C., the old Gadir, was occupied by Carthaginians, Romans, Visigoths, Muslims. Its strategic location, between the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, has shaped its history over the centuries. Today, Cadiz's image from the sea, with its monumental Cathedral, brings us closer to this open and cosmopolitan city that saw the birth in 1812 of the first Spanish Constitution.
