I was at this site a month ago guided by the illustrious professor of prehistory Diego Ruiz Mata, who was the director of this site at its discovery. Many years have passed and the abandonment and little adaptation to our times are noticeable. Such an important site not having an interpretation center does a disservice to our heritage and the administrations do not support it at all. And Cádiz has a very rich history and heritage that is not explored at all. This blindness is like shooting a bullet in the foot, even more so if you want to dedicate yourself exclusively to mass tourism and fast consumption: beaches and bars. Cádiz can offer cultural tourism based on its history.

Spectacular guided tour by Magdala, a wonderful, friendly, pleasant girl who explains the tour in a very entertaining way and answers all kinds of questions that I asked her. The place is very well preserved and its visit is very instructive. That if I recommend the guided tour because if you don't know nothing, you only see stones. The guided tour and admission is free

Very interesting. It is worth going to see it. In addition to the Phoenician site, the star of the excavation, there are archaeological remains from the Bronze Age, and the medieval tower of Doña Blanca. The guided tour is free, and they open from Wednesday to Sunday. The excavations are suspended: one more example of how little is invested in research (of any kind) in Spain. Too bad we have so much heritage...

Walls of Constantinople

The Walls of Constantinople are a series of defensive stone walls that have surrounded and protected the city of Constantinople (today Istanbul) since its founding as the new capital of the Roman Empire by Constantine the Great. With numerous additions and modifications during their history, they were the last great fortification system of antiquity, and one of the most complex and elaborate systems ever built. They were also the largest and strongest fortification in both the ancient and medieval world.

Initially built by Constantine the Great, the walls surrounded the new city on all sides, protecting it against attack from both sea and land. As the city grew, the famous double line of the Theodosian Walls was built in the 5th century. Although the other sections of the walls were less elaborate, they were, when well-manned, almost impregnable for any medieval besieger.
