Historically Rich Iglesia de Santa Cruz

Iglesia de Santa Cruz, Cádiz' most ancient church, originated as a Gothic-Mudéjar creation in 1263, commissioned by Alfonso X El Sabio on a former mosque site.

It suffered significant damage during the 1596 Dutch-British incursion and underwent reconstruction in the 18th century. Key architectural features include its baroque main altarpiece from the 17th century and beautiful vaulted ceilings.
