Cadiz City Museum

by Tanya/Richard

Some of the stunning collection owned by the Cadiz city archaeological museum, in particular the beautiful oil burners, glass vessels and bronze ornaments/tools.

The museum's prize items are the pair of Phoenician sacrophagus with a Greek/Egyptian style mix and the statue of Emperor Claudius from the Roman site Baelo Claudia, most known for its once busy fish salting industry.
