Torre Tavira, watch tower from the eighteenth century, situated in the down town and the highest point of the city, turned today into a focal point of cultural interest.
Torre Tavira has two exhibition halls, the Camera Obscura and the terrace from which you can enjoy wonderful views of Cádiz. Its Cámara Obscura was the first one installed in Spain: if it were possible to stabd inside a photographic camera, with its shutter open at a very small aperture, you would see, projected on to the film, a moving picture of the scene outside.
During 15 minutes, the guide will explain you the history of the town and its main monuments, offering a 360 degrees tour.
