San Fernando

San Fernando spans 30 square kilometers on a peninsula within the Bay of Cádiz, connected to the mainland by the historic Zuazo bridge.

During the French occupation of 1810, San Fernando and Cádiz remained the only Spanish territories that did not surrender to Napoleon's forces.

The Real Instituto y Observatorio de la Armada maintains a significant collection of astronomical and scientific instruments dating back to the 18th century.

The municipality maintains direct train connections to Seville, Madrid, and Barcelona, with regional services operating at regular intervals throughout the day.

The Panteón de Marinos Ilustres houses memorials and tombs of notable Spanish naval officers within a neoclassical building from 1850.
