Cádiz Cathedral, Catholic cathedral in Cádiz, Spain.

The cathedral features a large golden dome, twin towers reaching 52 meters high, and a combination of baroque and neoclassical architectural elements.

Construction of the cathedral started in 1722 and continued for 116 years, with multiple architects contributing to its design through different architectural periods.

The cathedral crypt contains the remains of notable Spanish figures, including composer Manuel de Falla and poet José María Pemán, both native to Cádiz.

The Levante Tower provides access to visitors who can climb to the top for panoramic views across the city and the Atlantic Ocean.

The cathedral earned the nickname 'Cathedral of the Americas' because its construction was funded by trade between Spain and the American colonies.
