A truly interesting museum which is an excavated street, houses and industrial buildings from Phoenician and Roman period (different layers). Well worth the visit (40-60min). The guides are incredibly informative both in Spanish and English.

Increíble. Amazing museum, perfectly done. Multimedia immersive experience
The tours here last about 45 minutes. While there is no admission fee, you *DO* need to reserve a ticket, since tour group-size is limited. Here you will see Gadir (Cádiz) in situ from the time it was colonized by the Phoenicians, through the Roman period. The building houses a beautifully preserved space, with translucent walkways over the ruins. Different-colored gravels distinguish between Phoenician and Roman structures. A multimedia presentation at the beginning lends a wonderful overview to the space throughout its history. There are even skeletal remains of an unfortunate that was overcome by smoke during a fire some 2,800 years ago. The tour guide we had spoke wonderful English, was VERY knowledgeable, and enthusiastic. Kudos to her! The only reason for losing a star: apparently in very recent history, lightning knocked out the air conditioner and dehumidifier for a while... this has led to some very musty odors at one end of the site, that made it difficult for us to breathe without covering our noses. This site is definitely worth a visit!
I don't know how this experience doesn't have 5 stars all the way around. First it is free, and we were pleasantly surprised by this hidden gem. Go here first before visiting all the rest to obtain a true understanding of the history.
FOR FREE! Just come to special time (13.00, 16.00 or 19.00), because the entrance is in small groups. You need only 50 minutes to visit it, its really small! Great place to imagine yourself some tausends of years before! Its not a museum, but just some archaeologian excavations, so it will be interesting for EVERYBODY, also children! EVEN IF YOU FIND MUSEUMS BORING, YOU WILL BE HAPPY TO VISIT THIS PLACE! You will see the bones of the oldest cat in Europe!
