Overview

  • Step into eighteenth-century Cádiz, an Atlantic fortress-peninsula where sea-hemmed real estate forced merchant princes to build straight into the sky. Follow the flow of American silver, Mexican cochineal, and Caribbean tobacco as we unpack the vertical merchant mansions and iconic Torres Miradores that ran early modern capitalism. From customs bureaucracy and international banking networks to secret property loopholes and naval telescope surveillance, uncover how global trade physically engineered the skyline of Europe's wealthiest port.
