The province’s capital has introduced the "Cadizcard", a tourist ticket that is the key to the city's most important monuments and also can be used on the open-top tour buses, which offer a highly flexible timetable to meet the visitor’s needs.
The visits included on the CadizCard are Cadiz Cathedral, the Torre de Poniente and Torre Tavira watchtowers, the Church of La Santa Cueva, the Hospital de Mujeres (former Women’s Hospital), the San Felipe Neri Oratory, the Royal Chapel of Our Lady of El Pópulo and the archaeological site of the Casa del Obispo (Bishop’s House).
The Cadizcard can be bought at any of those sites, lasts for a week and costs €26.
Monumentos a la Vista, the company behind the tourist ticket and in charge of running several of those tourist sites, added that the Cadizcard results in a saving of 25% of the price of the individual entries to the monuments and there is also the plus of not having to queue to go into these flagship monuments.
From above
The Torre de Poniente is an outstanding vantage point to look out over the city surrounded by sea from the highest point of Cadiz Cathedral. A guide will bring to life the history of this city that is so closely linked to trade with the Americas, thanks to which work began on building the golden-domed Cathedral overlooking the sea. The ticket includes the visit to the Museum.
The Torre Tavira watchtower is another must and is home to a marvel of science: the Camera Obscura. This fine example was named after the first watchman Antonio Tavira, whose job it was to record the ships entering and leaving the port of Cadiz.
The Cadizcard also includes a 24-hour ticket for the "City Sightseeing" tour bus.
Under the ground
A visit to the "Casa del Obispo" allows the visitor to discover the history of Cadiz from the 8th century B. C. to the 18th century thanks to its archaeological remains and digital reconstructions. Located between the city’s two cathedrals, the visit includes Phoenician, Punic, Roman and Medieval buildings under what was the Bishop's Palace in the 16th century.
Works of art
The San Felipe Neri Oratory contains one of the best works by Murillo, The Immaculate Conception and its exterior façade is covered with a great many commemorative plaques recalling that the first Spanish Constitution was signed here in 1812.
At the Hospital de Mujeres, El Greco’s "St. Francis’s Vision of the Flaming Torch" is particularly noteworthy in a chapel with a wealth of sculpture and works of art.
Another must in Cadiz is the Church of La Santa Cueva which contains three canvases by Goya: "The Miracle of the Loaves and Fishes", "The Guest at the Wedding" and "The Last Supper". It now has its place in the history of music as Haydn composed his Seven Last Words oratory for the church.
The Royal Chapel of Our Lady of El Pópulo dates back to 1587 and was built on the early Puerta del Mar (Sea Gate) in the Medieval city walls.
