Cadiz Described as Strong Naval Basin and Blockaded Port
A detailed contemporary portrait of Cadiz. The island stronghold at the Guadaleto mouth forms a northwest projecting tongue of land with Cadiz at its tip. The walled town sits 200 feet above sea level, framed by sea on two sides, and reinforced by trenches, bastions, and four forts protecting the grand arsenal La Caraca. Cadiz hosts a major naval rendezvous, a 70,000 population metric with water shortages, and a history of sieges and blockades, including English and Dutch actions in the 17th and 18th centuries and the central Junta era in 1808–1812.
