A flower-decorated palace in Cadiz

Un palazzo decorato da fiori nel centro storico di Cadice

A flower-decorated building in the historic center of Cadiz.
The center of Cadiz is a dense maze of alleys. Some are a little dark and hidden. Others are bright and well-kept like this one.
Not far from the cathedral on this street very popular with tourists and locals, there was this beautiful cafe with tables outside immersed in these beautiful purple flowers that decorated the facade.

Here is the spot where I took these photos:

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.

When I can't go out for a walk, I love to photograph the cities where the ship docks (or what you can see) from the external and upper decks.
Here we were in Cadiz and my lens fell on this tall monument that I discovered is dedicated to the Spanish Constitution of 1812.

Here is where the monument is located:

The Spanish Constitution of 1812, also known as the Constitution of Cadiz or La Pepa, is the constitutional charter promulgated on March 19, 1812 by the Cortes, the Iberian parliament, in opposition to the Napoleonic occupation and the regime of Joseph Bonaparte. It established the constitutional monarchy with the limitation of the powers of the king, the separation of powers, universal male suffrage, and freedom of enterprise.
