Cádiz

Cádiz (, ; see other pronunciations below) is a city and port in southwestern Spain. It is the capital of the province of Cádiz, one of eight which make up the autonomous community of Andalusia.
Cádiz, the oldest continuously inhabited city in Spain and one of the oldest in western Europe,〔 has been a principal home port of the Spanish Navy since the accession of the Spanish Bourbons in the 18th century. The city is a member of the Most Ancient European Towns Network.〔 It is also the site of the University of Cádiz.
Despite its unique site—on a narrow slice of land surrounded by the sea‚ Cádiz is, in most respects, a typically Andalusian city with a wealth of attractive vistas and well-preserved historical landmarks. The older part of Cádiz within the remnants of the city walls is commonly referred to as the Old Town (Spanish: ''Casco Antiguo''). It is characterized by the antiquity of its various quarters (''barrios''), among them ''El Pópulo'', ''La Viña'', and ''Santa María'', which present a marked contrast to the newer areas of town. While the Old City's street plan consists of narrow winding alleys connecting large plazas, newer areas of Cádiz typically have wide avenues and more modern buildings. In addition, the city is dotted with numerous parks where exotic plants flourish, including giant trees supposedly brought to Spain by Columbus from the New World.
==Name==

Very little remains of the Phoenician language, but numismatic inscriptions record that they knew the site as ''a Gadir'' or ''Agadir'' (), meaning "The Wall", "The Compound", or (by metonymy) "The Stronghold".〔"Phoenician and Punic Inscriptions", (p. 141 ). ''Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britain and Ireland''. Accessed 24 July 2013.〕 Borrowed by the Berber languages, this became the ''agadir'' (Tamazight: "wall"; Shilha: "fortified granary") common in North African place names. (The Israeli town Gedera shares a similar etymology.) The Carthaginians continued to use this name and all subsequent names have derived from it.
Attic Greek sources hellenized ''Gadir'' as ''tà Gádeira'' (). Herodotus, using Ionic Greek, transcribed it a little differently, as ''Gḗdeira'' (). Rarely, as in Stephanus of Byzantium's notes on the writings of Eratosthenes, the name is given as ''è Gadeíra'' ().
In Latin, the city was known as ''Gādēs'' and its Roman colony as ''Augusta Urbs Iulia Gaditana'' ("The August City of Julia of Cádiz").
In Arabic, the Latin name became ''Qādis'' ((アラビア語:قادس)). The Spanish ''Cádiz'' derived from this. (The accent mark is necessary to show that the stress is placed on the first syllable of the name.) The Spanish demonym for people and things from Cádiz is ''gaditano''.
In English, the name is pronounced variously. When the accent is on the second syllable, it is usually pronounced but, when the accent is on the first syllable, it may be pronounced as , as , or as .〔Merriam-Webster. "(Cádiz )". Accessed 22 July 2013.〕 In Spanish, the accent is always on the first syllable but, while the usual pronunciation is (:ˈkaðiθ), the local dialect says , (:ˈkaði) or (:ˈkai) instead. More recently, some English speakers hypercorrect and attempt to employ the Spanish lisp similarly to the British version of "Ibiza", leading to pronunciations of Cádiz with /s/ or /θ/ instead of /z/, but keeping the English vowels and the strong /d/.
