Map & landmarks
The map is temporarily unavailable.
Cadiz sits at the tip of a narrow peninsula in south-western Spain, in Andalusia, on the Atlantic coast. Founded by the Phoenicians around three thousand years ago, it is considered the oldest continuously inhabited city in western Europe. It lies about 120 km from Seville and more than 600 km from Madrid; the nearest towns are Jerez de la Frontera and El Puerto de Santa María. The climate is oceanic, tempered by the Atlantic: milder and windier than inland, with summers less stifling than in Seville and mild winters.
City life and landmarks
history & culture
The history of Cadiz goes back to its foundation by the Phoenicians, who are said to have settled it as Gadir about three thousand years ago, making it the oldest continuously inhabited city in western Europe. Cadiz then saw Carthaginian, Roman and Muslim rule before the Christian reconquest. A favoured port for trade with the Americas from the 18th century, the city hosted Spain’s first Constitution in 1812. Today, Cadiz is still famous for its Carnival, one of the liveliest in Spain, and for an old town of narrow lanes and shaded squares.
