In addition to cozy squares, narrow streets and the sea surrounding the city, the cathedral is the architectural heart of the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to legend, C\u00e1diz was founded by <em>Hercules<\/em>, although archaeological finds indicate that the <em>Phoenicians<\/em> settled more than 3,000 years ago. In addition to <em>Greeks<\/em> and <em>Phoenicians<\/em>, the <em>Romans<\/em> shaped the city with their impressive urban planning. Evidence of this era is the <em>Teatro Balbo<\/em>, which is well preserved was excavated and in the 1980s. Both <em>Visigoths<\/em> and <em>Moors<\/em> left their historical footprints later, before the Spanish Christians took power by conquering the city during the <em>Reconquista<\/em>. The overall architectural picture is completed by impressive city palaces and residential buildings from the 18th century, which were built as a result of growing prosperity due to the relocation of the royal fleet and the contract house for the trade trips to the &#8220;Am\u00e9ricas&#8221; from Seville to Cadiz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The old town of C\u00e1diz, the heart of the city, is surrounded on all sides by the Atlantic Ocean and was separated in thr ancient times from the mainland by the Sancti Petri Canal, which has been filled with sand over the centuries by sediment deposits. C\u00e1diz is completely surrounded by city walls, which were fortified by several citadels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On a day trip, it is advisable to explore Cadiz on a walk along the coastline around the old town before going inside to enjoy the city&#8217;s maritime life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7887,"parent":3045,"menu_order":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-6752","location","type-location","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/liveitup-tours.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/location\/6752","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/liveitup-tours.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/location"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/liveitup-tours.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/location"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/liveitup-tours.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/liveitup-tours.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/location\/3045"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/liveitup-tours.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7887"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/liveitup-tours.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6752"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
