Picture this: you’re standing in the heart of Cádiz’s old town, surrounded by history, and you step into a time machine disguised as a museum. The Cádiz Museum blew me away with its treasures, from eerie Phoenician sarcophagi to vibrant Baroque paintings by Zurbarán. The ground floor’s archaeology section is like a journey back to 1100 BC, with artifacts that whisper tales of ancient Cádiz as a bustling Phoenician hub. Did you know the male sarcophagus found in 1887 sparked the creation of this very museum? For just €1.50 (free for EU citizens with ID), you get access to this cultural goldmine on Plaza de Mina. Pro tip: bring a translation app, as some signs are Spanish-only. Also, check the website for current hours, as renovations might limit access to some floors. Don’t rush—give yourself at least an hour to soak it all in! What’s your favorite...

Aunque pueda parecer desde fuera un museo pequeño no se engañen. Se trata de uno de los lugares con piezas de extraordinario valor por su rareza y su profundidad histórica en las culturas que a lo largo del museo podrán observar.

Fenicios, Romanos, Visigodos e Islam son alguna de las civilizaciones que podremos disfrutar en este museo.

El Museo de Cádiz está situado en la Plaza de Mina de la ciudad de Cádiz. Conoció distintas sedes a lo largo de su historia, como el Callejón del Tinte o el Paseo de Canalejas, estableciéndose en su sede actual en 1935. Está catalogado como Bien de Interés Cultural.

Llama poderosamente la atención las valiosas piezas de la cultura fenicias con influencias egipcias en el interior del mismo.

Representaciones a la diosa Osiris en plena ciudad de Cádiz tras el paso de los fenicios ya dice mucho de la importancia del Enclave de Gadir en su conexión con el mundo oriental.

Una pequeña alusión a la entrada del museo recuerda que uno de los mitos que el famoso Hércules tuvo que resolver puede ser ubicado en la isla de Eritia, identificada justo en las proximidades de la antigua Gadir (como se le conocía a Cádiz antiguamente).

Entre sus 12 trabajos cabe destacarse el del rey Gerión y sus bueyes a quién debía robarles los bueyes. Gerión era un gigante con tres torsos y tres cabezas que reinaba en la isla de Eritia. El viaje a la isla supuso un gran esfuerzo para nuestro héroe ya que no se podía navegar con un barco normal debido a que las aguas hervían como si fueran lava de un volcán. Hércules le pidió ayuda al dios Apolo para que le prestase su galeón realizado en oro. Poco antes de llegar a su destino, el galeón tuvo que detenerse al toparse con una pared de roca que le impedía el paso y partiéndola por la mitad, se formó el estrecho de Gibraltar. Para dejar constancia de su paso, erigió dos columnas de piedra en África y España, conocidas como las columnas de Hércules. Una vez en Eritia se dispuso a robarle los bueyes y matar al gigante a base de flechas que perforaron una tras otra las cabezas de Geriones. Sin embargo, aquí no terminaría su aventura, de vuelta a Micenas se enfrentó a otros peligros. La vengativa Hera mandó una plaga de tábanos que mataron a la gran mayoría de los bueyes. Una vez que llegaron a Micenas, el rey Euristeo mandó sacrificarlos en el altar de Hera.

Todo estos detalles hacen el lugar un museo de necesaria asistencia por su importancia en la historia universal y local de la localidad.

No dejen de visitarlo.

Surprised at how extensive the exhibits were. Some signs in English.. but you have signal in half the building to use Google translate. Interesting story of the two stone sarcophagus.. on man one woman but (spoiler alert !)... both with a man interned into them... what's the story there ?. Sadly the fine art on the 2nd floor is being renovated . But I thought the 1.5 euro entrance was well worth it just for the ground floor... we are museum junkies so spent probably 3.5 hours reading everything... but leave yourself an hour and you could get through and still have time for tapas close...
