Archivo Histórico Provincial de Cádiz, Provincial Historical Archive in Cádiz, Spain
The Provincial Historical Archive resides in the House of Chains, a baroque palace constructed in 1693 featuring architectural elements by the Andreoli brothers workshop.
The building received its name 'House of Chains' after providing shelter to a Corpus Christi procession during rainfall, granting it special historical privileges.
The archive maintains over 75,000 documentary units, including century-old notarial protocols and extensive collections from various administrative bodies of Spain and Andalusia.
The archive opens Monday through Friday, with summer hours from 8:30 to 13:45 and winter hours from 8:15 to 14:30, offering free access to documents.
The facility spans 1,771 square meters divided into three sections: public access, work areas, and storage spaces containing 16 kilometers of shelving.
