 Garita at Paseo de Santa
Barbara. by Beach_dog
Its worth walking around parts of it, in many areas you will see these small Garitas, places were sentries would have stood with protection from the elements. Leave a Comment Directions: Some of the best sections to walk are along the seafront at Paseo de Santa Barbara, at the north west side of the city.

cadiz, possibly being one of the oldest european cities, has for centuries been a stronghold for the numerous occupiers of the town. due to this, its fortifcations and walls are amazing, and well worth a look. a 4.5km coastal walk takes in many of the structures, and will give you a great chance to see the huge thick inpenetrable walls. Leave a Comment Directions: anywhere along the coast

Starting in the West of the old town in San Carlos you can see the first example which was used to protect the entrance of the port. It was built in 1784.
The Baluarte of the Candelaria was also built to protect the port and can be found in front of Iglesia del Carmen (Church). It was built in 1672.
The Baluarte of the Soledad o de La Bomba was also built in 1672 which can be found in Parque Genovés between that of Candelaria and Bonete.
Bonete can be found where Hotel Atlantico now is and was built in 1572.
The Baluartes of San Pedro and San Paulo now belong to the walls of the Caleta beach. They played a vital role in Fighting off the Duke of Essex when the English fleet attacked Cadiz in 1556.
Moving to the North of the old town, three Baluartes can be found which date back to 1672. The Baluarte Orejón is located in the gateway of Playa Caleta, Mártires to the south of the beach between Duque de Nájera and El Campo del Sur. Last but not least you can find Capuchinos situated by the Convent of Capuchinos.
Beside the Puerta Tierra gateway you can find the Baluartes of San Roque and Santa Elena, both were built in 1594. Leave a Comment

Santa Catalina fortress was built on a rocky outcrop that reaches out to sea. La Caleta beach is on one side, protecting it to the northwest. Built in the 17th century, it has an Italian-style star-shaped floor-plan, with two defined frontages. It was initially intended to defend the northern side of La Caleta beach and served later as a military prison. Nowadays, it is used for cultural events and features regular exhibitions as well as concerts. The interior consists of several small pavilions and quarters
Tours are organised free of charge daily from 10.30am to 6pm.

You can see some fortified areas, and their entrances where the old part began, the new part has been called Puerta Tierra.
This is the part around the old town, that protect the city from the pirates....

We visited the fort and they have done an amazing job of retoring, and cleaning. It was nearly empty when we were there, early in the morning. The views of the sea were breathtaking. Leave a Comment Directions: Easy to walk to at the edge of the promentory. No entrance fee! Pictures are allowed so that was a great plus as well.
