Second exhibition hall
The second exhibition hall, from which you can enjoy great panoramic views of the town and the bay, is dedicated to the 18th and 19th century in Cadiz. Two of the most important centuries of the modern history of the town, when the House of Commerce was established in Cadiz, thanks to the development of trading.
In this hall we can find different panels that describe the harbour of Cadiz and its intense traffic from commercial routes with America, the traders' houses and their watchtowers. It also explains why Torre Tavira became the official watchtower of the harbour of Cadiz in 1778, being the highest point of elevation in the old part of the town. Torre Tavira was named after its first watchman, D. Antonio Tavira.
