Legend has it that the city was founded in the 8th century BC by the Phoenicians who called it “Gadir.” When it turned into a Roman port city – an important center for trade, entertainment, and fine cuisine – it became known as “Gades.” The city’s splendor declined during the Muslim period but flourished again after the discovery of America as Columbus set out on his 2nd and 4th voyages from here, returning with precious metals and a host of other treasures.
The ancient city of Cadiz lies on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean, and it is probably the oldest city in Europe.
