    They forgot talking about the Museum of Cádiz. It is in the Mine Square. It was built in the XIX century by Juan Daura. It is neoclassical. The museum has got three sections: archeology, art and etnography. There are paints and sculptures of Zurbarán, Salvador Viniegra and Adolf Ulrik Wertmüller.
