Cádiz stands as one of Europe's oldest inhabited cities, where three millennia of history meet Atlantic waves. On this walking tour, you'll discover the complex layers of a place that has been Phoenician trading post, Roman port, medieval fortress, and Spain's gateway to the Americas. Wander through distinct neighborhoods like El Pópulo and La Viña, see the dramatic contrast between the old and new cathedrals, and experience how the city's seafaring spirit shaped its unique culture.
This self-guided tour begins at Plaza de San Juan de Dios, where a statue of politician Segismundo Moret stands near the neoclassical City Hall. You'll explore the medieval quarter of El Pópulo through its ancient gates and past the remains of a Roman theater that once held 20,000 spectators. Walking through narrow streets where Islamic, medieval, and colonial architectural influences blend, you'll discover how this compact city reinvented itself through centuries of prosperity and decline.
