Cadiz Museo de Bellas Artes (at Plaza de Mina 5, across from the Tourismo-closed Mondays) displays interesting and rare paintings of saints by Francisco Zurbaran. His depiction of the saints are both powerful and introspective, as his models were often monks, draped in shadows, that he met during his travels through the monasteries of Spain. The museum also contains an impressive archeological exhibit of Cadiz’ ancient past. I The sea walls and the waterside walkways are strikingly beautiful, and a wonderful place to stroll for sunrise or sunset. The Catedral Nueva is an enormous, crumbling 18th century high-baroque is perfectly proportionate and is worth a visit. The old cathedral, Santa Cruza is also worth a look. There are three frescoes by Goya in the 18th century chapel called Santa Cueva.
