Last Tuesday, I was strolling through the centre of Cadiz (Costa de la Luz, Southwest Spain) and I used my camera, to take some pictures, which I want to share with you today.
The first big space that I found was the named “Plaza del Mercado” (Square of the market):
On the walls of the market, you can see several murals of Cadiz:
This is the main door of the market
The next space in my walk was the named “Plaza de las flores” (Square of the flowers); but, before I found this building on the way:
It is the back of the Post office
This is the "Square of the flowers":
In the square of the flowers you can see the building of the Post office:
In this square, you can also see a statue of Lucio Moderato Columela (a Roman writer, who was born in Cadiz). No one knows the exact date of his birth, but it is believed that it was around the beginning of the Christian Era:
Lucio was named “The Prince of writers of Agriculture”. He was the best agronomic treatise of the Roman Empire.
He was a Seneca´s friend. Lucio went to Rome, in his youth. There, he was devoted to large-scale agriculture.
The next space that I visited was the grate “Plaza de la Catedral” (Square of the Cathedral), through a narrow street:
A view to the Square of the flowers
Now you can see a little bit of the Cathedral
A tower of the Cathedral
This is the Cathedral:
And this is the "Square of the Cathedral":
Here, you can see a very important arch, named “The arch of the flowers”. It is very important, because it is the door through you can go inside the oldest neighborhood of Cadiz, named “Pópulo”:
And this is the view of the Cathedral Square through the arch of flowers:
In the background, you can see the church named "Santiago"
I was behind the Cathedral and I could see this one:
This is the yellow dome of the Cathedral ( a typical image that you can see in many journals, on tv and on Internet:
And from that place, I could see two very nice images of Cadiz:
Well, this one was my short but nice walk through the oldest area of Cadiz. I hope that you can make a similar walk than mine.
Till next time, kind regards,
Luis.
