Cádiz, a city is southwestern Spain, is an important port on the Atlantic coast, just northwest of the Strait of Gibraltar. Cadiz is built on a narrow spit of land that limits the population growth.

Cadiz, the most ancient city of western Europe, began as a Phoenician outpost. The city has been under the control of the Carthagians, the Romans, the Visigoths, and the Moors. There is speculation that Tartessos, an ancient culture in the area of Andalusia, lost its harbor city to flooding of the Guadalquiver River, and Cadiz served as the new trading center.

Christopher Columbus began his second and fourth voyages from Cadiz, as did the doomed Spanish Armada.

Most Ancient European Towns Network: Argos, Beziers, Cadiz, Colchester, Cork, Evora, Maastricht, Roskilde, Tongeren, Worms.
