Torre Tavira and Camera Obscura

Torre Tavira exchanges the horizontal street walk for a view from above. Part of the palace of the Marquises of Recaño, it recalls the importance of lookout towers in a city connected to maritime traffic. Its Camera Obscura uses an optical system to display outdoor images inside a darkened room: this is not a recorded film, but another way to observe the city. Before booking, check how the visit operates, the climb involved and current conditions. If you do not enter, pause nearby and look for other towers among the rooftops. Cádiz can also be understood by looking above its narrow streets.
