Cadiz Cathedral & Tavira Tower Guided Tour Itinerary

Meet your guide in Plaza de San Juan de Dios, ready to begin your tour of two emblematic monuments. After a brief stroll through the Old Town and navigating under the Arco de la Rosa, you'll reach the Cadiz Cathedral, known as the "New Cathedral," built to accommodate the city's growing population. It showcases a fusion of architectural styles due to its 116 years of construction.
