The ancient portal of the Admiral's Palace in the alleys of Cadiz.
A beautiful portal, in the historic center of the Spanish city, not far from the cathedral.
As I read on the internet: “The Admiral's House was built by the Admiral of the Fleet of the Indies, Diego de Barrios, in the 17th century.
The facade is made of Genoa marble“.

Here is where the palace is located:

It is probably the oldest city founded in the western Mediterranean area by the Phoenicians in the 11th century BC, although its birth is now officially dated back to the end of the 8th century BC.
Founded with the original name of Gadir (in Phoenician: Gdr, fortress, with the same etymology as Agadir in Morocco) on what was once a small archipelago and now a single island, to exploit the rich trade routes with the Atlantic Ocean in the copper and tin trade. In ancient Greece it was known as Gadeira and in the times of the Roman Empire as Gades from which the current gentilic name of gaditano derives.
