The cathedral that replaced Santa Cruz, which was in poor repair, when Cádiz gained importance with the transfer of the Casa de Contratación in 1717. It was begun in 1722 to a design by Vicente Acero and declared finished in 1838, after 116 years and several architects, hence the mix of Baroque, Rococo and Neoclassical. The interior and the Clock Tower, finished in 1845, can be visited; the west tower dates from 1862.
