We will visit the Interpretation Center of the Roman Theater and the recently reopened Roman Theater of Gades (2nd most important after the Pompey Theater in Rome and in extension behind the Theater of the ancient Corduba) and that is under the medieval quarter and the two cathedrals, the GADIR deposit, whose discovery and inauguration were eco in National Geographic that classify it as "the most important in the West as it proves that Cádiz is the oldest city in the western world".
Later we will enjoy a cave in the historic center, considered one of the great monuments of Spanish art and the jewel of the neoclassical Cadiz. The paintings of Francisco de Goya stand out, in addition important sculptures and finally the famous Austriac compositor Joseph Haydn who wrote for this chapel his work "The Seven Last Words of Our Redeemer on the Cross", that he himself considered as his most accomplished score. The Ministry of Culture declared it a national historical-artistic monument in 1981.
We will finish our tour through the Catacombs of the Sanctorum, another piece of Cádiz History more hidden and mysterious the hidden crypt of the Beaterio, under one of his buildings, where we can get into a "A piece of the bowels of Cádiz" and live again the ecclesiastical and Masonic rites of the time.
Optionally and for those who survive so many emotions we have organized a lunch to continue the debate.
