Cadiz

Description

Although it juts into the Atlantic, Cadiz is as radiant and filled with history as any Mediterranean community. This program explores the peninsular Spanish city, guiding viewers through prominent aspects of its landscape-or, in some cases, its seascape. Visiting the flower market and the ancient Populo quarter, where a 1980 warehouse fire revealed a massive, well-preserved Roman theater, the program also showcases the bustling casino, the Isabelino design of the provincial government building, the castle of Santa Catalina, and the Oratory in which the Constitution of 1812 was proclaimed. The vaporsito and the crow's-nest watchtowers used by 18th-century merchants bring the city's port to life.
