Cadiz Cathedral

in CCS18 days ago

Cadiz cathedral was built between 1722 and 1838. The cathedral was declared Bien de Interés Cultural in 1931.

The 18th century was a golden age for Cádiz, and the other cathedral in the city, Santa Cruz, was very small for this new age in the history of Cádiz so a new cathedral was built. The building took 116 years from 1722 to 1838. The first person who designed the church was architect Vicente Acero, who had also built the Granada Cathedral. Acero left the project and was succeeded by several other architects. Due to the drawn-out period of construction, the cathedral underwent several major changes to its original design.

Included in the 10 euro ticket price you can see the cathedral, go up to the bell tower and see fantastic 360 degree views of Cadiz, the crypt and a museum behind the cathedral full of fascinating objects.

This would probably cost about £30 in England.
