Saint Felipe Neri's oratory and The Pepa at La Isla de Leon
Another of our visit that we did in Cadiz ( our last stop) it was Saint Felipe Neri's oratory. Although actually is an oratory it had an important meaning at 1812 refering to the Constitutionc of 1812.
As we know at 1810 in Cadiz they weren't do any meetings because of some illness and they had to do their meetings in Isla de León ( San fernando nowadays) where there was all the meetings of that event . They they signed and swore the constitution at the school-convent called Compañia de María. It wanted to end the Ancient regime .
Later, at 1812 they went again to Cadiz where they did their meetings ai Saint Felipe Neri's Oratory. Where finally they signed and swore the Constitution of 1812 on the 19 of march 1812. They called colloquially La Pepa because the signed at the day of Saint José. The civizens for proclaim her happiness the said : viva la pepa!
Saint Felipe Neri's oratory has a circular floor. Formed for a big high where we can found with 3 differents balconies. Its depends of your social class the type of balcony that you had of better or worse views of the meeting.
When we went to Cadiz . A guide touristic explained to us another version of the text that we expleained before and with a short video we can watched what has happened at that time.

The day of our trip to Cádiz, we visited this museum. There the guide explained us the caracteristics of this model made by hand on the 19th century:
This is a tridimensional model that shows exactly how it was the town of Cádiz in the las third of the 19th century.
Cádiz was a vey important town and the ships brought the richeness of the american colognes in the port of Cádiz. This caused that many tourists visited this city and that the population rose up, and that is why Spain is the objective of other countries.
Carlos III ordered to build models of the most important cities of Spain and the only one that was finished is this one, to improve their defenses. It took two years to built it. This is the exact replic of Cádiz in this century.
As an anecdote, this model was made by craftsmen with oak tree and silver thread, each building has every detail. When Carlos III, the king, had the cost of this model, decided not to make any other model becouse it was vey expensive.
