According to Greek mythology, Cadiz was founded by the legendary Hercules. However, its history can be traced back to a Phoenician settlement. In 1262, Alfonso X’s troops triumphed over the Moors, leading to Cadiz’s subordination under the Castilian crown. With the Spanish discoveries and conquests in the Americas, Cadiz rose to prominence as a hub of trade and became one of the principal ports for the Spanish fleet. The city’s prosperity attracted both wealth and unwanted attention, with pirates among the unwelcome visitors seeking to disrupt the flourishing trade. Notably, towards the end of the Spanish War of Independence, Cadiz became the birthplace of the first liberal constitution of Spain, a significant milestone in the nation’s history.
