    The Cathedral was originally built in the 15th century, but in 1.665 it was in ruins. So, they began rebuilding it and works lasted for several years, adding some parts from time to time.

    Ceuta has various viewpoints, like those of Isabel II and Monte Hacho, where you can get an excellent panoramic view of the harbour and Ceuta Bay. On this hill you can visit the Desnarigado Castle-Museum, containing a valuable collection of military objects. Here, too, is the Hermitage of San Antonio, a 16th-century building which at one time was the residence of the bishop, and the Fortress of Hacho.

    Murallas Reales (Royal Walls)
    by Ilya_Andriy
    The Cristo de los Afligidos bridge gives access to the old Royal Walls and the San Felipe Ditch, the largest military construction in Ceuta which was an impregnable fortress for centuries.
    This is a walled enclosure made up of several defensive lines, ditches and galleries built up in the Middle Ages.
    It is one of Ceuta's most characteristic monuments built over the centuries by the various inhabitants of this land.

    The Fortress of Hacho is a walled enclosure situated on the top of Monte Hacho.
    You cannot visit it nor been very close to the place (altough it depends on the soldiers), because it is occupied by Spanish Army.

    Ceuta
    by Ilya_Andriy
    The nerve centre of the city is the Plaza de Nuestra Señora de África, situated right in the old town, where there is a monument to those who died in the African War (1859-60). Around the square stand the Sanctuary of Nuestra Señora de África, in which the image of the patron saint and permanent mayor of the city is venerated; the Cathedral, that was built on the ruins of the Main Mosque in the 18th century and was reconstructed between 1948 and 1961.
    Inside there are images and canvas from the 17th century mixed with current day ones. The image of the Virgen Capitana of the 15th century of Portuguese origin is worthy a mention.
    It has a Neoclassic entrance made out of black marble.
    Here you can find too the City Hall and the Comandancia General military headquarters. Other interesting religious monuments are the church of San Ildefonso, inside which you will find the image of Cristo de Medinaceli, and the hermitage of Nuestra Señora del Valle. This is the oldest Christian church in the city, where Juan I of Portugal knighted his sons.

    view of the atlas mountains
    by bobsreturn2004
    Walk around the bay of Ceuta.its clean and very different to any other bay i have walked around.One word of advice be careful where you walk.In five minutes i went from being around a lot of other people to being followed by five black african men, which i can safely say was not a incredible experience.However the best place i walked was just past the bus station where i took this photo of the atlas mountains.Alas it was quite a cloudy day and i was using a disposable camera so the view didnt come out as well as i would have liked.
