Top 50 things to do and attractions in Caceres

Amazing

Iconic archway into nice plazas and alleys.

Amazing!

Historic gate in the old town

An amazing place to visit in Cáceres. The air around is magic, old, medieval.

Cercei Lannister was here

What's behind the gate is what's most beautiful. A great medieval city.

> go to plaza mayor > grab cerveza at 9 am > see medieval architecture > listen to man tickle guitar strings > delightful

One of the key attractions in a lovely Caceres. You will visit a tower (although there are plenty of them in a town) and a section of the town wall. You will get great views of the central square from the tower

The best spot to take photos, and for Panoramic views of the old city landmarks. For 3 euros, you can visit three towers, and read about history if the city. Unfortunately, all the written descriptions and illustrations are in Spanish which is not very welcoming for international visitors.

As an iconic monument in the centre of Caceres, Bujaco Tower was built in 12th century by the Moors. Standing about 25 metres high, this roughly square tower is located in Plaza Mayor at the entrance to Caceres's Old Town. I am Uploading two photos.

Can look down all around of old town in Caceres.

Must see in Cáceres! Great views over the city and bonus visit of remainders of Roman foundations.

When we arrived there appeared to be a line of 10 or so (two pairs of 2 and a large family) just inside the gate but it was not at all clear what the line was for (no signage). There was a person at the front of the line giving information to a couple and essentially blocking access to where I assume you can buy tickets. Was she staff? A private guide? Just a friend who knows a bit about the tower? She had nothing to identify her as staff. We waited 10 or so minutes for the line to move or for some acknowledgement from this person but neither happened. Some people in this time had arrived, waited some minutes and left. We decided that maybe we were standing in a line for no reason so we attempted to see if there was a ticket office around the corner but we were stopped by this person and rather rudely told to just wait - no explanation for what we were waiting for or how long. Would we have to wait another 10+ minutes for the next couple to get the same information and then again for the family? Who knows. We left disappointed at not even being able to see the Torre or views. It wasn't the worst experience (hence 2* and not 1), just disappointing and a waste of time. It is nice from the outside and I'm sure nice inside. Please note, we speak and read Spanish so it was not a language barrier, just unorganised and unclear.

You can only visit the palace in a guided visit, but it’s totally worth it! The guide was super nice and really engaging and the palace has many unique features! You’ll be in rooms that remain the same from the XVI century and other rooms more typical of the XIX century. You’ll follow the story of the Golfines family throughout many centuries. It’s very interesting, highly connected with the Spanish story itself. The palace is impeccably renovated! Highly recommend this visit!

it's a luxurious house with a history of generations related to Caceres

No English spoken and as you had to have a guide. So inaccessible.

Great tour and very knowledgeable staff. Impressive displays and collections in great settings per room. Highly recommended!!!

Amazing tour of the palace. While the inside itself is well done, the real highlight are the stories the guide will tell on the tour. Highly recommended

Definitely a must-see in Cáceres. We had a guided tour and it was great to get this voice-over on the old palace.

Apart from one room (sala de armas) and the building itself, there is nothing really to see if any importance. Many more places in Cáceres that are more worth visiting. Besides we had a very rude and unprofessional guide Elena that was guiding us. Not a top attraction at all.

This is very nice spot to explore the old town in Caceres. Walking around this area taking random streets is the best way to explore the historical nature this town has to offer. I would highly recommend a visit to here while visiting. There is a small entrance fee here if you wish to enter the church to obtain better views of the city and old town.

Nice plaza within the historic center of Caceres with a small statue of Saint George. The plaza is next to the impressive Church of San Francisco Javier.

Lovely spot. In the old district of Caceres. The square has a superb relief of St. George. And a splendid bar.

Beautiful!

Lovely square in old Caceres

Historical landmark in Cáceres (Extremadura)

Beautiful place.

Wonderful restaurant! It was our final dinner in Caceres and was a spectacular meal. We were seated in the courtyard below the tower which creates a beautiful atmosphere. My wife and I decided on the tasting menu with a bottle of Riesling. Each part of the menu was delicious. The prawns had a flavor that was unique. The fish course had a substitute of scallop in a peanut sauce topped with foam. The Russian salad was great and the acorn fed pork was spectacular! The service was good, our only issue was they were so busy right from opening it took a bit to get our wine. The person who we believe to be the manager or owner even took the time to visit every table and chat. A very personable and enjoyable experience.

Located in the Casco Antiguo and run by the same team as El Atrio, this restaurant provides outstanding classic Spanish specialties in a sophisticated setting. We had a seven course lunch where every detail was carefully curated. Service was friendly and impeccable. Highly recommended!

Our final dinner after visiting Caceres for 10 days, and we may have saved the best for last! (if Atrios doesn't count) The garden seating was wonderful and relaxing, the wine list spectacular, and the food was incredible. They were very careful with my husband's gluten allergy. You must try the ensalada rosa -- it's not going to be what you think it's going to be. Every bite of every course was incredible. Gracias!

What a great place!!! First of all, the restaurant itself is so beautiful. We set in the garden and it was just magical. The service was very nice and attentive. We shared all of the dishes so they split them for us which was great. The food was on point! Everything we took was super good. I definitely recommend the croquettes- they are on a different level. The dumplings were delicious 🤤 The only complaint is that the cod was a bit disappointing , lacked of taste in my opinion, but it still was ok. This place is worth a visit.

Superb food, service and ambience. What more can I say. We came for a long lunch in the palace courtyard, hoping for something special. It was an absolute delight and met our expectations. Each course was excellent. The staff were fantastic and knew all the wines and dishes very well. I will return for sure.

Excellent food without a doubt, but what was most excellent was the service of Alba and Oben, both are really good assets to the establishment. Alba was the most excellent service staff we encountered for a time, hope she does well in life. It was a very pleasureable evening and we are grateful to Oben for taking time to talk to us and make us feel very special.

The ambience was lovely and the food was excellent. We had a beautifully presented aubergine starter which was both delicious and refreshingly different. The staff were friendly, polite and courteous throughout. A wonderful dining experience overall!

Full of many magnificent buildings few of which can entered and few of which seem occupied by families. The city is a museum piece and while one can marvel at the energy and commitment involved in its construction it does seem soulless. No bars or shops that we found in that part of the city we explored. It was worth visiting but my preference is for the small towns which are alive and atmospheric. Try Alcantara for example and appreciate the contrast.

That Town is in my opinion very underrated, because it's so, so beautiful! I reccomend to visit if you're travelling through Spain, it's definitely worth it. The Old Town is just breath taking, and seeing this at night time gives you an opportunity to feel the place, its spirit.

A great place to break our journey south for a wander around the city and grab a coffee. Lots of interesting buildings.

It’s a beautiful place, a bit magical. Cáceres has a stunning medieval old town, full of fascinating places to explore and plenty of towers. It’s a lively and truly captivating.

Great place to visit, a mixture of Roman, Moorish, and medieval Spanish. Interesting churches, the museum of Càceres is really a visit & if you can find La Cacharreria restaurant & get a table then go. The food is amazing...

Really wonderful ! Please come to Cáceres and don't forget to visit the "Casco histórico". History is present everywhere!

Caceres Old Town: Visited in September 2025. An excellently kept medieval town centre, still partially in use. It was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1986. There several monuments of Cultural Interest inside: the co-cathedral of Saint Mary, the church of St Francis Javier, and several palaces and museums.

A wonderful visit plenty of details! A muslim house dated in X century in middle of the Caceres old town quarter, where is possible be apart of the world, go back in the history and have a beautiful visit. Specially to the ceramic and textile lovers! Is a must the sweet explanations of Sandra! Thank you!

We were so happy to find this lovely little museum. It’s a shame there isn’t more information about the several hundred years during which Spain was occupied by North Africans. The display was charming and the bath was interesting. The best though was the daughter of the museum’s owners. She was so full of information and very knowledgeable.

This beautifully restored 12 century Moroccan home was built on the foundations of a former Roman house (circa 1 BC ?). Such a treasure! A must see in Caceres. We enjoyed some phenomenal Moroccan Tagine shortly after the visit based on the recommendations of the friendly owner Sandra.

Wow! For 2 euros it's like stepping back in time. Even has a well and Haman. The garden is amazing. Quick stop but so interesting!

A great little find! Really interesting with lots of detail. Highly recommend. Would be useful to have the information and room descriptions in English also.

Very interesting and unusual museum, great atmosphere. We really enjoyed it.

Arabic culture in the middle of Caceres. What an interesting place! Small piece of history we didn't expect to find in this town. Worth the visit!

Nice museum, but it could be better if modernized.

Joke from Google - absolutely CLOSED. No way will it open for months. See my photo. Cement delivery in progress. Good thing was the cafe next door after all the steps.

The museum is open and worth a visit for the archaeological parts mainly period. But you are not the most interesting part, the Arab. Aljibe or cistern is closed and supposedly for two years. That’s a very good reason to postpone your visit to Caceres after it reopens.

Great bronze age pieces. Amazing museum for a smaller city. The 6,000 year old carved idol. The Roman and Visigothic pieces.

Worth a visit, even if only to see the Arab cistern. Interesting archeological artefacts found in the local area a on display. Free entry if you're a citizen of the EU member state, if not it's still only 1.5€ for admission.

Some great paintings upstairs too!

What a great museum covering a great deal of local and Spanish history. Starting in about 3000bc, you make your way through artefacts from different eras in Caceres and wider Spain (through Roman, Visigoth and Moor times, to 20th century). The building is also a great part of the exhibit, including an cistern under the building. The fine are section has works from Picasso and Miro which is very impressive for the €1,20 entrance fee (or free for citizens of the EU!) Detailed information is in Spanish but more concise in English.

The cathedral was smaller than we thought. It has features that are very similar to those in Salamanca. The tower ‘views’ are underwhelming since they have installed iron gates that impede you from reaching the wall.

The interiors of this church was quite interesting. But what made it worth paying the entry fee was the view from the tower. Absolutely stunning view on the old town.

Small cathedral that punches above its weight. Wonderful Gothic vaults and a unique alter piece. The climb up the tower is worth it for the great views over Caceres. It also features a nice museum with an impressive array of pieces of religious art. Keep an eye on the floor, which contains many grave markers of past church benefactors.

First Catholic church that I would need to pay to be able to enter. Most cities are now making even museums entry free to attract more tourists. This looks more of a local church, for local people (that have pesetas)

This beautiful 15th century, gothic Santa Maria Co-Cathedral in Caceres has an impressive Renaissance altarpiece in cedar wood by Roque Balduque.

The local cathedral in Cáceres also known as Santa Iglesia Concatedral de Santa Maria was closed when I went to visit (August lunchtime). Nevertheless, the simplicity of its Gothic exterior adorned with gargoyles, was a joy to admire. Construction on the cathedral began in the 13th century and was completed in the 16th.

A beautiful cathedral church. Reasonable €4 to enter but you do get audio guide and access to the bell tower for that, where you can ring a bell!

No longer a church but rather the setting for a strange set of displays recording the history of Church and the diocese. In Spanish. No acknowledgement that a high percentage of those entering the building have English as their second language...not Spanish. Some traditional religious artefacts. The building itself has some striking features. One can access a gallery high up above the displays via a spiral staircase The most interesting things in the displays were various representations of the nativity, from many different countries. Not worth even the small sum of 1.5€. Unless you read Spanish and are an enthusiast for diocesan and Church history.

On my way from Lisbon to Madrid, I stopped in Cáceres, and it was a wonderful surprise. This beautiful, romantic medieval walled town, dating back to the 12th century, is full of charm with its historic streets and architecture. With fewer tourists, it offers a glimpse into everyday life, making it a peaceful and authentic escape. Plus, the low entry fees for attractions make exploring this place even more enjoyable.

Amazing views from the tours of this unused church. Very cheap too - only €1.50 entry fee. Would definitely recommend for people to try when you’re in Cáceres! Just a warning the sprial steps up the tower is a little tight so make sure you comfortable with climbing.

This two white towers of this church are an iconic part of the Cáceres skyline. Also when walking around town, it was helpful to look for the towers to help with geographic orientation & navigation (so old school). Recommend climbing the stairs for a closer look. Though built in the 18th century, it was built in Baroque style. Unfortunately it was closed when I was there (August lunchtime).

Didn't enter but it's pretty impressive on the outside. For some reason, it was quite easy getting photos of it without other tourists around - which is pretty awesome. To enter it's 1.50 euros.

I visited only for the views, which are well worth a €1.50 entry fee, but they only accept cash. I found it proper misleading that the ticket is not an entry fee ('entrada') but actually a DONATION TO THE CHURCH disguised as an entry fee. That information is not available beforehand and you only find out when they hand over the tickets.

Only saw the outside. That’s my sister in the wedding dress.

FREE. Apart from the courtyard, garden and tourist office, it has a model of the old town which is useful. Tourist office staff are helpful. PS. Beware the Caceres museum is closed and in reconstruction

5 stars just for the amazing Nativity Scene for Christmas! Best tourist office ever!!

As for the tourism office there is probably no better location as this magnificent palace

We had a guided tour with a very knowledgeable historian. A beautiful part of the city.

Interesting display about geopark. Beautiful garden

Nice place

(Translated by Google) You can visit the cloister and the garden, admission is free. (Original) Se puede visitar el claustro y el jardín ,entrada gratuita.

I went to this restaurant last night and I really wished I could’ve stayed an extra day in Cáceres to try more of their food options. The staff greeted us warmly, the service was amazing and the food was absolutely exceptional. Flavorful and the portion size of the tapas were perfect. 10/10 recommend and will definitely return during my next visit.

This restaurant is exceptional. The presentation was very pleasing, everything was fresh and perfectly cooked. The chef does a nice job of pairing flavors to make the dishes interesting and unique. I would definitely return!

I arrived here at dinner time there was an empty table I started reading the menu that was on the table from previous customers. The waitress/owner was very friendly and welcoming cleaning the table off, but when she noticed that I had the menu of the day that was tucked into the menu, she snatched it away and said only regular menu is available. It seems like foreigners are not elligible for the menu of the day in the evening but obviously the previous guests were. Stay away.

Tried menú del día during lunchtime for 18 euros including migas. Food, service and the overall experience was average – not bad, but not outstanding either.

Located in Plaza Mayor, La Minerva serves up delicious local flavors of Extremadura and of Spain overall. There’s a terrace in the main square with fans for those who want to brave the heat. Otherwise there’s the inside of the restaurant, which is where I sat. I had laminas de pancetta served with dried strawberries and huevo trufado. The food was refreshing and filling on a hot summer day. Highly recommend visiting La Minerva when next in Cáceres

Lovely people, tasty food, reasonable price that’s all it takes for an easy 5 stars. Got some olives and fresh bread with the Daily Menu! Amazing!

Located on Plaza Major, great location to eat outside with a view. Usually on main places you have mostly touristic places, but this restaurant is different ! We had lunch there, we took the polpo, percebes and zambiriñas, and solomillo de cerdo. Food was well prepared, and nicely presented. Seafood was very fresh. Staff is nice and helpful. Very good value for money also. That's definitely a good place to stop by during your visit at Cáceres!

We tried the Tapería part of La Casa del Sol, which doesn’t have any connection to the Michelin star restaurant that is at the very same place. The options we had were all tasty but all of them came cold. We could see our plates waiting on the counter for quite some time before they put it on our table. We left disappointed and wouldn’t go back.

Wonderful place. Great service and great food and wine. Very upscale place with moderate prices. Our server was very very good. Friendly and helpful.

We were expecting more from a Michelin-starred restaurant. Staff attention was poor and Leticia in particular was quite rude. Food was good, though, but we wouldn't return due to the overall disappointing experience.

A fantastic dinner for my last night in Extremadura in a modern setting within the old citadel. Great wine by the glass recommendations from the professional waiter for each course, and good explanations of the ingredients of each dish. The amuse bouche was a stunning cream of garlic with crushed almonds. The Torrezno starter was quite fatty but the waiter advised me of this beforehand and said they recommended eating it with the smoked mashed potato each time, which worked. The presa ibérica pork was fantastic, as were the glazed carrots and onions. The chocolate combo dessert was amazing, a mix of 4 different types of chocolate (biscuit, flakes, ice cream and crumble). €60 all in for 3 good courses and 4 glasses of wine.

How this got on the Michelin guide is beyond me. They had very poor menu when we visited , bread was stale and waiting staff couldnt be more disinterested. Was looking forward to this place but such a let down.

Amazing food with a superb service. Fine dining at a afortable price. It is a great spot to relax and enjoy.

Excellent food and service! The piglet was very tasty and the chocolate dessert really good!

(Translated by Google) Located in the heart of the monumental area, it consists of a large patio where we can eat something or have a cocktail. I only came to have a drink, specifically a mango mojito, at a price of €7. Very good, a good size and with a good amount of rum, and accompanied by a generous bowl of nuts. The service, very good, and the place, very pleasant and quiet, it was Monday night; The night before we went there and it was absolutely crazy, there was no room for anything and the noise was deafening, but my experience was magnificent. (Original) Ubicado en plena zona monumental, consta de un amplio patio donde podemos comer algo o tomarnos un cóctel. Acudí únicamente a tomarme una copa, concretamente un mojito de mango, a un precio de 7 €. Muy bien, de buen tamaño y con buena cantidad de ron, y acompañado de un generoso cuenco de frutos secos. La atención, muy buena, y el sitio, muy agradable y tranquilo, era lunes por la noche; la noche anterior pasamos por allí y era una absoluta locura, no cabía un alfiler y el ruido era ensordecedor, pero mi experiencia fue magnífica.

(Translated by Google) The best bar for people 45 and older. Well-dressed, polite, good music. The staff is 10 points. I'll keep going. ☺️ (Original) El mejor bar para gente desde 45 años. Bien vestidos, educados, buena música. Los empleados 10 puntos. Seguiré yendo. ☺️

(Translated by Google) ⭐ Review of El Corral de las Cigüeñas (Cáceres) ⭐ El Corral de las Cigüeñas is one of those charming spots that make Cáceres' old town so special. It's located in the Plazuela de San Pablo, just steps from the Plaza de San Jorge and surrounded by the medieval walls. Its setting is simply beautiful, with cobblestone streets, historic facades, and the sound of the storks that gives it its name. This place has a history closely tied to Cáceres' cultural life: for years it was a hub for live music, theater, and cultural activities. Over time, it has maintained its bohemian and welcoming spirit, serving as a meeting point for locals and visitors looking for more than just a simple terrace. We went this past Sunday and ordered two beers, enjoying the pleasant atmosphere and the background music that was perfectly at ease. It's an ideal place to have a quiet drink, chat, and soak up the atmosphere of the historic center. In short, El Corral de las Cigüeñas is a place with history, charm, and good vibes, perfect for a stop while exploring the heart of Cáceres. 👍 If you liked this review, give it a like. (Original) ⭐ Reseña de El Corral de las Cigüeñas (Cáceres) ⭐ El Corral de las Cigüeñas es uno de esos rincones con encanto que hacen especial al casco antiguo de Cáceres. Está ubicado en la Plazuela de San Pablo, a pocos pasos de la Plaza de San Jorge y rodeado de las murallas medievales. Su entorno es simplemente precioso, con calles empedradas, fachadas históricas y el sonido de las cigüeñas que le da nombre. Este espacio tiene una historia muy ligada a la vida cultural cacereña: fue durante años un referente de la música en directo, el teatro y las actividades culturales. A lo largo del tiempo ha sabido mantener ese espíritu bohemio y acogedor, siendo un punto de encuentro para locales y visitantes que buscan algo más que una simple terraza. Fuimos este domingo y pedimos dos cervezas, disfrutando del buen ambiente y de la música de fondo que acompañaba sin molestar. Es un sitio ideal para tomar algo tranquilo, charlar y empaparse del ambiente del casco histórico. En resumen, El Corral de las Cigüeñas es un lugar con historia, encanto y buena energía, perfecto para hacer una parada mientras se recorre el corazón de Cáceres. 👍 Si te ha gustado esta reseña, dale like.

(Translated by Google) Every time we go to Cáceres (and it's been many years now), it's a must-visit. Great atmosphere, sometimes with live music. Highly recommended. (Original) Cada vez que vamos a Cáceres ( y ya son muchos años ) es un sitio de visita obligada. Muy buen ambiente, en ocasiones con música en directo. Muy recomendable.

(Translated by Google) Live music, beautiful people, drinks and beers on a fantastic patio. Rosita y los bigotes played. Great! (Original) Música en directo, gente guapa, copas y cervezas en un patio fantástico. Tocaron Rosita y los bigotes. ¡Geniales!

(Translated by Google) Very unpleasant treatment. They don't care about people, I don't think they're kind or try to be understanding, although they're quick to charge. They don't give you receipts for drinks, and they disrespect the law or people's rights. The cash register, at least at one bar, doesn't print receipts, and at the other, if it does, they don't give them to anyone either. If you ask for them, they give you dirty looks. They say horrible things if you even try to assert your rights. The doorman is the rudest and most unpleasant. Overall, it seems like they're doing you a favor by letting you in or giving you a drink. It's not worth it. We won't go back; there are many more places with nice, considerate people working there. (Original) Trato muy desagradable. Las personas les importan poco, creo amabilidad ni intentó de comprensión aunque para cobrar son rápidos.. No te dan ticket con las bebidas, y no se respeta la legalidad, ni los derechos de la gente. La registradora, al menos en una barra, no imprime tickets y en la otra si lo hace tampoco se los dan a nadie, y si lo pides te miran mal. Te dicen barbaridades si intentas hacer valer tus derechos mínimamente. El portero el más borde y desagradable. En general parece que te están haciendo un favor dejándote entrar, o poniéndote una copa. No merece la pena. No vamos a volver, hay muchos mas lugares, con gente agradable y considerada trabajando.

(Translated by Google) In Cáceres for the Blues Festival for the second year running. What a fantastic bar/garden this is in the old town. A wonderfully relaxed atmosphere. We love coming here. (Original) Voor het tweede jaar in Caceres voor het Bluesfestival. Wat een geweldige bar/tuin is dit in de oude stad. Een heerlijke relaxte sfeer. Wij komen hier heel graag.

Walked up to this hermitage. Up hill would not say its easy. Benches all along the way to rest. Crosses line the road. Great views when you get up there.

Beautiful view from the city. You can ideally arrive by car but the way can be done by walk too.

Strikingly beautiful views and a lovely chapel.

The Sanctuary is located in the Sierra de la Mosca, about 600 m. altitude and with magnificent views over the city.It began to be built in the 17th century dedicated to the Virgen de la Montaña, the city's patron since 1906. The Virgen de la Montaña sanctuary is a religious complex made up of three chapels. The first one was built by Francisco de Paniagua and has the appearance of a small cave of 6.50 by 2.70 meters in surface with a height of two and a half meters. This first chapel began to be built in 1621. The second chapel is the result of the enlargement of the grotto to convert it into a common hermitage and was developed by Sancho de Figueroa in the second half of the 17th century. Finally, the third chapel was built in the first half of the 18th century, expanding the second in depth, as a consequence of the increasing influx of visitors. Due to the fact that the third chapel took advantage of the walls of the second, it is unknown where the boundary was between them, although the most probable is that the second only occupied a little more than the current choir of the hermitage, as described by Ortí Belmonte in 1949. The sanctuary complex is more extensive than the three-chapel building itself. Among other facilities, it has a small square to observe the city built in the late 17th century, an access road to the city built in the late 19th century, a temple whose history dates back to the early 18th century and a monument to the Sacred Heart Jesus' 1926.

Ok

(Translated by Google) 3 km. east of the center, is the sanctuary of the Virgen de la Montaña, built in the 17th century on a hill of olive trees to shelter the statue of the patron saint of Cáceres.

One of the four original Roman gates / entrances to Cáceres, Arco del Cristo is extremely well maintained.

(Translated by Google) Arco del Cristo or Puerta del Río or Puerta del Concejo (1st-3rd century A.D.), between Cuesta del Marqués and Fuente del Concejo streets, in Cáceres (Extremadura). Of Roman origin, it is the oldest preserved gate to the monumental city of Cáceres, on the E. flank of the wall. Large Roman ashlars that form two large semicircular arches. Inside the fence, a covered niche houses a painting of Christ, from pp. s. XIX. Attached to the Gate is the River Tower. It gives access from the Old Jewish Quarter to the Ribera del Marco, the only local river. It seems that this is where a branch of the 'silver road', a route that led to Augusta Emerita (Mérida), after descending to the Marco River and joining the road that leaves through the Puerta de Coria. (Original) Arco del Cristo o Puerta del Río o Puerta del Concejo (s. I-III D.C.), entre las calles Cuesta del Marqués y Fuente del Concejo, en Cáceres (Extremadura). De origen romano, es la puerta de la ciudad monumental de Cáceres más antigua conservada, en el flanco E. de la muralla. Grandes sillares romanos que conforman dos grandes arcos de medio punto. En el interior de la cerca, una hornacina cubierta aloja un cuadro de Cristo, desde pp. s. XIX. Adosada a la Puerta está la Torre del Río. Da acceso desde la Judería Vieja a la Ribera del Marco, el único río local. Parece que por aquí entraba en Norba Caesarina (Cáceres) -colonia civium romanorum, 'colonia de ciudadanos romanos' fundada en 34 A.C., por el proconsul Gaius Norbanus Flaccus- un ramal de la 'vía de la plata', una ruta que conducía a Augusta Emerita (Mérida), después de descender hasta el río Marco y unirse con la calzada que sale por la Puerta de Coria.

It was built in the s. I with large ashlars, it is formed by two semicircular arches. On the outside, the arch gives access to the Ribera del Marco, hence the name Puerta del Río. Attached to the door is one of the city's defensive towers, known as the River Tower. It is currently known as the Arco del Cristo, due to the image of the Crucified Christ that it has in the niche in the interior, from the beginning of the 19th century. XIX.

Adosada a la puerta se encuentra uno de las torres defensivas de la ciudad, conocida como la Torre del Río. Actualmente se la conoce como el Arco del Cristo, por la imagen del Cristo Crucificado que tiene en la hornacina de la parte interior, de principios del s. XIX.

(Translated by Google) A fantastic place to start a different visit to the monumental city of Cáceres. You can do it if you come as a walker or pilgrim along the Camino de la Plata towards Santiago de Compostela, if you come as a tourist or visitor, or if you are from Cáceres itself. At this point history and legend come together, references to the identity of the city and its inhabitants. Close to the historic and medieval fountain of Concejo and the bastion of Los Pozos; a space of legends of Mansaborá and a guild neighborhood of Caleros and tanneries, a point through which the Via de la Plata arrives (or through the Mérida gate), the point at which the mayor hands the rod of his office to the patron saint. An arch of Roman ashlars in an Almohad rammed earth wall, the entrance to the old Jewish quarter and the neighborhood of San Antonio de la Quebrada where it smells of cooking and there are clothes hanging... a neighborhood to visit and share before the monumental surroundings fill our senses... dare to feel the history by entering here and the walkways. Good road and good visit. (Original) Un fantástico lugar para comenzar una visita diferente a la ciudad monumental de Cáceres. Puedes hacerlo si vienes como caminante o peregrino por el camino de la Plata hacia Santiago de Compostela, si vienes como turista o visitante, o si eres del propio Cáceres. En este punto confluyen historia y leyenda, referencias de identidad de la ciudad y sus habitantes. Próxima a la histórica y medieval fuente de Concejo y al baluarte de los Pozos; un espacio de leyendas de Mansaborá y de un barrio gremial de Caleros y tenerías, un punto por el que llega la vía de la Plata (o por la puerta de Mérida), el punto en el que el alcalde entrega la vara de su cargo a la patrona. Un arco de sillares romanos en una muralla almohade de tapial, la entrada a la judería vieja y al barrio de San Antonio de la quebrada en el que huele a cocido y hay ropa tendida...un barrio al que visitar y compartir antes de que el entorno monumental llene nuestros sentidos...anímate a sentir la historia adentrándote por aquí y los adarves. Buen camino y buena visita.

(Translated by Google) The Arco del Cristo or River Gate is the entrance gate to the oldest preserved monumental city of Cáceres, built in the 1st century. It is located in the center of the eastern flank of the wall. Built with large Roman ashlars, it is formed by two large semicircular arches on both sides of the wall. In the interior, a covered niche houses a painting of Christ, located at the beginning of the 19th century. Attached to the door, one of the defensive towers that flanked it, the Torre del Río, is preserved. The gate gives access to the valley that forms the Ribera del Marco, hence the name River Gate. It is believed that the branch that connected Norba Caesarina with the Via de la Plata entered the city through this gate, more specifically the route that led to Augusta Emerita, after descending to the river and joining the road that left the city through the Coria Gate. (Original) El Arco del Cristo o puerta del Río es la puerta de entrada a la ciudad monumental de Cáceres más antigua que se conserva, construida en el siglo I. Está situada en el centro del flanco oriental de la muralla. Construida por grandes sillares romanos, la forman dos grandes arcos de medio punto, en ambas caras de la muralla. En la parte interior, una hornacina cubierta aloja un cuadro de Cristo, ubicado a principios del siglo XIX. Adosada a la puerta se conserva uno de los torreones defensivos que la flanqueaban, la Torre del Río. La puerta da acceso a la vaguada que forma la Ribera del Marco, de ahí el nombre de puerta del Río. Se cree que el ramal que comunicaba Norba Caesarina con la Vía de la Plata penetraba en la ciudad por esta puerta, más concretamente la ruta que conducía hasta Augusta Emerita, después de descender hasta el río y unirse con la calzada que salía de la ciudad por la Puerta de Coria.

(Translated by Google) Sober but beautiful church, located in the center of Caceres, at the gates of the walled enclosure. The Gothic-style church was built during the 13th century, although it underwent major renovations in the 14th, 15th, and 16th centuries and was not fully completed until the 18th. In turn, in the mid-twentieth century it was restored, recovering much of its original style. The temple is characterized by having a nave covered with a ribbed vault with terceletes. The apse is covered with pointed pointed vaults. At the same time, the presence of several chapels stands out inside, among which, the most important is the chapel of the relics with its doorway with Plateresque decoration with cherubs and balustraded columns on the sides. The church is located on the outskirts of the walled area and in ancient times it was the point where ranchers and shepherds held their livestock fairs, which created a settlement in its surroundings and led to it being popularly known as San Juan de los Ovejeros. . (Original) Sobria pero bonita iglesia, situada en el centro de caceres, a las puertas del recinto amurallado. La iglesia, de estilo gótico se construyó durante el siglo xiii aunque sufrió grandes reformas en los siglos XIV, XV, y XVI y no estuvo totalmente concluida hasta el XVIII. A su vez a mediados del siglo xx se restauró recuperando en gran parte su estilo original. En el templo se caracteriza por tener una nave cubierta con bóveda de crucería con terceletes. El ábside está cubierto con bóvedas ojivales de crucería. A su vez se destaca la presencia en su interior de varias capillas, de entre las cuales, la más importante es la capilla de las reliquias con su portada con decoración plateresca con querubines y columnas abalaustradas en los laterales. La iglesia se encuentra a las afueras del recinto amurallado y en la antigüedad era el punto donde ganaderos y pastores realizaban sus ferias de ganado, lo que creó un asentamiento en su entorno y dio lugar a que se la conociera popularmente como San Juan de los Ovejeros.

(Translated by Google) Leaving Mass... and... like me, many Latinos were awaiting mention of our Saints whom the Holy Father canonized today, October 10th. A beautiful homily, referring especially to prayer. However, these new Saints the Holy Father spoke about today did not stop at prayer; they materialized prayer in tangible works and constant deeds. It is good works that ultimately show us the value of goodness and, ultimately, that will save religion, the world, and present and future societies, where—sadly—"seeing is believing" is increasingly prevalent. Rejoicing!!! For our Saint Joseph Gregorio Hernandez, the "doctor of the poor." (Original) Saliendo de misa.. y...como yo, muchos latinos esperábamos mención de nuestros Santos que el día de hoy 10-Oct. el Santo Papa ha canonizado. Hermosa Homilía , referida especialmente a la Oración, sin embargo estos nuevos Santos de los que el Santo Padre hoy ha hablado no se quedaron en la oración, materializaron la oración en Obras palpables y hechos constantes, y es que son las buenas obras las que finalmente nos muestran el valor de la bondad y en definitiva las que salvarán la religión, al mundo y a las sociedades presentes y futuras en las que cada vez -y lamentablemente- esta mas vigente " el ver para creer". De jubilo!!! por nuestro San Jose Gregorio Hernández, el "médico de los pobres"

(Original) Un sitio lleno de figuras de los siglos XV/XVI, dentro podemos ver la emblemática Cena y el Nazareno. Otro lugar precioso de la ciudad de Cáceres.

(Translated by Google) Some documents place the origin of this temple in the 12th century, although the earliest surviving remains must date much later, to the 14th century. Two centuries later, already in the midst of the Renaissance (16th century), the master Rodrigo Gil de Hontañón undertook its restoration, incorporating constructive and aesthetic elements typical of the period. Some of its most notable aspects date from that period, such as its splendid main chapel and the sacristy. This is a very spacious, single-nave church, with several attached chapels with burial chambers in the area closest to the sanctuary. On the outside, the first thing that strikes one is undoubtedly the unique construction of its enormous, high buttresses with medallions on their fronts, some of which—those closest to the entrance doors—rest on very thick, freestanding columns with fluted shafts, connected to the church by sturdy semicircular arches. There are two entrance doors, facing each other and located near the foot of the church: one opened in the Epistle wall and the other in the Gospel wall. Both open into pointed arches that are displayed on the exterior with archivolts, framed by alfiz arches and beneath large Renaissance coats of arms. Its interior structure is notable for its ribbed vaults, the spacious high choir located at the foot, and its remarkable main chapel, the work of several architects, although its influence is due to Gil de Hontañon, who began its construction in the second half of the 16th century and, due to disagreements with his benefactor, left it unfinished, and the Trujillo architect Sancho Cabrera took over. As for its furnishings, special mention must be made of its artistic and important main altarpiece, made of carved and polychrome wood by Alonso Berruguete, one of the most prominent Spanish Mannerist sculptors. This altarpiece appears mounted on the end wall of the church's apse, which is closed off from the rest of the church by a beautiful Renaissance grille, made in Peñaranda by the ironworker Francisco Núñez in the second half of the 16th century. The altarpiece was commissioned by Berruguete in 1557, making it one of the last by this artist (he died in 1561). A native of Paredes de Nava, he settled in Valladolid, where he left it unfinished at his death. It was completed by his disciples in 1565. It was installed in this church a few years later, in 1570, after a difficult move from Valladolid in which it suffered considerable damage due to rain, which made its final assembly very difficult. The high-relief figures, almost free from the painted backgrounds, stand out, resembling a stage. Arranged in three vertical columns, it features six large spaces in the two upper sections. The central section is dominated by an image of the Virgin and Child surrounded by angels in the upper panel, and by the patron saint of the temple, Saint James, who appears on horseback leading Christian soldiers in the fight against the infidel. Among the other valuable carvings housed in this church, some are worthy of mention, such as the 15th-century carving of Our Lady of the Enlightened, and the Christ of Miracles or Indulgences, from the same century. (Original) Algunos documentos sitúan el origen de este templo en el siglo XII, aunque los restos primeros que se conservan deben fecharse bastante más tarde, en el siglo XIV. Dos siglo más tarde, ya en pleno renacimiento (siglo XVI), el maestro Rodrigo Gil de Hontañón se haría cargo de su restauración, incorporándose en este tiempo elementos constructivos y estéticos propios de la época. De ese momento son algunos de sus aspectos más destacables como son su espléndida capilla mayor o la sacristía. Es esta una iglesia de una sola nave muy amplia, que en la zona más próxima a la cabecera presenta algunas capillas adosadas con enterramientos. Exteriormente lo primero que sorprende en ella, sin duda, es la singular solución constructiva que muestran sus enormes y altos contrafuertes con medallones en su frente, algunos de los cuales - los más próximos a las puertas de entrada - descansan sobre unas muy gruesas columnas de fuste estriado que aparecen exentos, unidos a la iglesia por recios arcos de medio punto. Dos son sus puertas de acceso, situadas enfrentadas entre sí y ubicadas cercanas a los pies del templo, una abierta en el muro de la Epístola y la otra en el muro del Evangelio. Ambas se abren en arco apuntado que se muestran al exterior con arquivoltas, enmarcadas por alfiz y bajo grandes escudos de factura renacentista. De su estructura interior destacan las bóvedas de crucería, el amplio coro alto ubicado a los pies y su notable capilla mayor, obra de varios arquitectos, aunque su impronta lo debe a Gil de Hontañon, que comenzaría su ejecución en la segunda mitad del siglo XVI y que por diferencias con su benefactor dejó sin terminar, haciéndose cargo entonces de la misma el arquitecto de Trujillo Sancho Cabrera. En cuanto a sus bienes mobiliarios hay que hacer mención especial a su artístico e importante retablo mayor, realizado en madera tallada y policromada por Alonso Berruguete, uno de los más destacados escultores manieristas españoles. Este retablo aparece montado sobre el testero del ábside de la iglesia, que se cierra al resto del templo a través de una hermosa reja de factura renacentista realizada en Peñaranda por el rejero Francisco Núñez en la segunda mitad del siglo XVI. El retablo fue encargado a Berruguete en 1557, siendo así una de las últimas de este artista -falleció en 1561-, natural de Paredes de Nava y afincado en Valladolid, donde lo realizó aún dejándolo inconcluso a su muerte, siendo acabado por sus discípulos en 1565. Quedó instalado en esta iglesia unos años más tarde, en 1570, tras un traslado accidentado desde Valladolid en el que sufrió considerables daños a causa de la lluvia, que hizo muy difícil su ensamble final. Destacan en él las figuras en altorrelieve y casi exentas de los fondos pintados a modo de escenario. Dispuesto en tres calles verticales mediante columnas, muestra seis grandes espacios en los dos cuerpos superiores, quedando presidido en la calle central por una imagen de la Virgen con el Niño rodeados de ángeles en el cuadro superior y por el titular del templo, Santiago, que aparece a caballo guiando a los soldados cristianos en la lucha contra el infiel. Entre el resto de tallas de gran valor que se guardan en esta iglesia se cita aquí algunas como son la talla de Nuestra Señora de la Esclarecida, obra del siglo XV y el Cristo de los Milagros o de las Indulgencias, de la misma centuria.

(Translated by Google) Located at the gates of the walled enclosure. It is not one of the best known in Cáceres, but you have to visit it, both for its sober exterior and its magnificent interior. The Church of Santiago de los Caballeros dates back to the 12th century. Later, in the 16th century, it was restored with Renaissance construction elements. On the outside, the Church of Santiago stands out for its large buttresses with medallions joined to the nave by semicircular arches. It has two access doors, one on the Epistle wall and another on the Gospel wall. The Church of Santiago has a single nave with some chapels dedicated to burials. Inside, the ribbed vaults, the main chapel and its imposing main altarpiece stand out, which you cannot leave Cáceres without seeing. The altarpiece was commissioned by Alonso Berruguete, who died before finishing it, and it was completed by his disciples in 1565. It features the carving of the saint who gives its name to the temple, Santiago Apóstol, who appears on a horse. It is the headquarters of the magnificent brotherhood of the Holy Supper, whose mystery we can see mounted inside. (Original) Situada a las puertas del recinto amurallado. No es de las más conocidas de Cáceres, pero hay que visitarla, tanto por su sobrio exterior como por su magnífico interior. La Iglesia de Santiago de los Caballeros data del siglo XII.

En su interior destacan las bóvedas de crucería, la capilla mayor y su imponente retablo mayor, que no te puedes ir de Cáceres sin verlo. El retablo fue encargado a Alonso Berruguete, quien murió antes de acabarlo, y lo terminaron sus discípulos en 1565. En él es protagonista la talla del santo que da nombre al templo, Santiago Apóstol, que aparece sobre un caballo. Es la sede de la magnífica cofradía de la Sagrada Cena, cuyo misterio podemos ver montado en su interior .

(Translated by Google) House of the Becerra (15th century), in Plaza de San Jorge, 2 in Cáceres (Extremadura), adjacent to the church of San Francisco Javier. Prototype of a fort-house with a typical Cáceres façade built between the 2nd and 3rd centuries. XV and XVI; It was rebuilt (1530-43) by the Becerra lineage, originally from Galicia, which passed through other places in León and Castilla until it reached Cáceres in the 19th century. XIV. In 1440, this palace-house belonged to the knight Don Juan de la Torre who gave it to another Don Juan de la Torre - son or grandson, cousin of Commander Gonzalo de Becerra - who years later left it to his nephew Don Álvaro de Paredes -son of Gonzalo Becerra-, although he never lived here and bequeathed it in 1540 to his brother Frey García Becerra -commander of Cubillas de Duero and other places of the order of Saint Juan and son of Don Gonzalo Becerra -, who also did not live there and who founded the estate (1543) in his daughter Doña Leonor de Becerra (Puertomarín, Lugo, c. 1525, where his father who was commander of the place (1521-31) he had with Mrs. Isabel González de Quiroga), who did live in this palace, at that time the twin shields were placed on the façade. Doña Leonor de Becerra married in Cáceres in 1545 with Don Diego de Ulloa Porcallo de Torres (+1573) - lord of the Casa de las Veletas and perpetual ruler of Cáceres and 4th cousin -. Don Luis de Becerra seems to belong to another Cáceres branch of the Becerra, active in the conquest of Mexico, although he spent his last days bedridden, where he died, his relationship with this palace not being clear to me. Facade with access through a semicircular arch door, with large radiating voussoirs, under an architraved window with two coats of arms of identical size with the arms of Becerra, Paredes, Orellana and Ribera, on crossed flags and a knight's helmet; Two Gothic zoomorphic gargoyles finish off the cornice. Renovated (2006) to be the headquarters of the Mercedes Calles and Carlos Ballestero Foundation (2002), according to the transfer of assets of Mrs. Mercedes Calles Martín-Pedrilla (1915-2001) and her husband Mr. Carlos Ballestero Sierra, for development issues socio-cultural, heritage conservation and general interest of the city of Cáceres. (Original) Casa de los Becerra (s. XV), en la Plaza de San Jorge, 2 en Cáceres (Extremadura), adyacente a la iglesia de San Francisco Javier. Prototipo de casa-fuerte con típica fachada cacereña levantada entre los ss. XV y XVI; fue reedificada (1530-43) por el linaje Becerra, originario de Galicia, que pasa por otros lugares de León y Castilla hasta que llega a Cáceres en el s. XIV. En 1440, esta casa-palacio era del caballero don Juan de la Torre que la cedió a otro don Juan de la Torre -hijo o nieto, primo del comendador Gonzalo de Becerra- el cual años después la dejó a su sobrino don Álvaro de Paredes -hijo de Gonzalo Becerra-, aunque nunca vivió aquí y la legó en 1540 a su hermano frey García Becerra -comendador de Cubillas de Duero y otros lugares de la orden de San Juan e hijo de don Gonzalo Becerra-, que tampoco la habitó y que funda mayorazgo (1543) en su hija doña Leonor de Becerra (Puertomarín, Lugo, c. 1525, donde su padre que era comendador del lugar (1521-31) la tuvo con doña Isabel González de Quiroga ), que sí vivió en este palacio, en esa época se colocaron en la fachada los escudos gemelos. Doña Leonor de Becerra se casó en Cáceres en 1545 con don Diego de Ulloa Porcallo de Torres (+1573) -señor de la Casa de las Veletas y regidor perpetuo de Cáceres y primo 4°-. Don Luis de Becerra parece pertenecer a otra rama cacereña de los Becerra, activa en la conquista de México, si bien pasó sus últimos días postrado en la cama, donde murió, no quedandome clara su relación con este palacio. Fachada con acceso mediante puerta de arco de medio punto, de grandes dovelas radiadas, bajo ventana arquitrabada con dos blasones de idéntico tamaño con las armas de Becerra, Paredes, Orellana y Ribera, sobre banderas cruzadas y yelmo de caballero; rematan la cornisa dos gárgolas zoomórficas góticas. Reformada (2006) para ser sede de la Fundación Mercedes Calles y Carlos Ballestero (2002), según manda de cesión de bienes de doña Mercedes Calles Martín-Pedrilla (1915-2001) y de su marido don Carlos Ballestero Sierra, para cuestiones de desarrollo socio-cultural, conservación del patrimonio e interés general de la ciudad de Cáceres.

(Translated by Google) In the Plaza de Santa María, next to the bishopric and the co-cathedral, in the heart of the historic center of Cáceres, a World Heritage City, is the Casa de los Ovando or Palacio de Ovando, a Renaissance-style building located in the monumental complex of the city of Cáceres (Extremadura, Spain). The palace was built on another previous building that had previously occupied its place, whose work began in the 15th century and was stopped by order of the Catholic Monarchs in 1480. Remains of the original tower can still be seen as part of the current façade. We can see on the main façade of this Palace, a semicircular arch doorway with archivolts and pilasters in high relief on plinths. In the spandrels of the arch there are medallions, which represent their patrons, that is, Hernando de Ovando and his wife Doña Mencia de Ulloa. In the frieze that ends at its ends with two figures of children the inscription “ALTERNA ILUSTORUM MEMORIA” (the memory of the just is eternal, from a psalm of David). In the center an oval that contains the shield of Ovando (in a silver field, flordelised cross of gules with four scallops in the corners, of the same color) and Ulloa (checkered with fifteen squares of gold, the pairs loaded with two sashes of gules). Above this shield we have in sgraffito, a flying eagle that in its beak carries a ribbon with the Vera motto (“Veritas Vinci”) attached to a shield stamped with a crown with the barracks of Vera, Cáceres, Fajardo, Varona and in the center Ovando, which belongs to Doña Leonor de Ovando y Vera, author of the 17th century reform. Its rooms are very large in size, it has a rectangular patio, a portico in which there are different noble shields. In the corner of the façade stands the topless tower, with a Gothic window in an ogee arch with ornaments simulating openwork and the coat of arms of the Ovando and Ulloa family. The Ovando dynasty was one of the most rooted and ancient dynasties among what we call Cáceres nobility. Hernando de Ovando, married Doña Mencia de Ulloa, built this palace in the first quarter of the 16th century, which would later be renovated in the 18th century. It is a family very connected with the discovery of America. A brother of Hernando de Ovando, he was the first Governor of Hispaniola, specifically Frey Nicolás de Ovando, who was a great promoter of the Extremaduran presence in the conquest and colonization of America.

The highlight of our trip to southern Spain. A must stop. If you get here after 19:00 you can use your car to get to the top (easy way up). Alternatively use a shuttle bus or walk (~45 min each way)

Griffin Vultures fly in to roost on the cliff walls below the castle every evening in Spring. Best photo opportunities for this event is halfway up the steps to the castle

Most amazing place! Breathtaking view, beautiful waters! One of the most beautiful places I have ever been!!! Seems to be a nice hike to the top from the bottom. Must stop, would definitely return!!!

Breathtaking views from the castle. There is a free bus to take you from car park. There are cave paintings about halfway up.

Caught the free minibus up to the top of the hill and walked from there to the castle. Amazing views!

Very nice views from the top. You can drive right up to the staircase. It is well worth climbing up the staircase for the castle and the little tower next to it.

Yet another ruin. No particularly interesting story or architecture but good views

(Translated by Google) Convent of San Pablo (1492), located at Plaza de San Mateo, 2, Cáceres (Extremadura). A late Gothic convent and church dating from the 15th century. In 1499, it was a beguinage (a gathering place for nuns) presided over by Juana González (Joan of God), which later became a convent. This was followed by a community of the Third Order of Saint Francis. Today, since the mid-20th century, it has been a cloistered convent of the Order of Saint Clare. This monastery church has a Latin cross floor plan. The main entrance is devoid of decoration except for the pointed arched entrance; the double-spanned bell gable is obviously from the 18th century. It has five altars and several altarpieces. The altarpiece, influenced by Churrigueresque influence, depicts the Conversion of Saint Paul—an interesting figurative group. Notable goldsmithing. Chapel of San José (1493), a funeral home where the remains of the promoter of Don Álvaro de Aldana rest. It is famous in the city of Cáceres for its sweets, especially its delicious "yolks of San Pablo." (Original) Convento de San Pablo (1492), en la Plaza de San Mateo, 2 de Cáceres (Extremadura).

(Translated by Google) The Torre de la Yerba is part of the walled enclosure of the World Heritage City of Cáceres. It is a construction of Arab origin and built on Roman ashlars. It is located close to the Balbos Forum and the Plaza Mayor itself. Like its companions, it shares a square floor plan and stands within the defensive fence of the monumental city of Cáceres. It is known as an albarrana tower (those that serve for defense and also as a watchtower). It was one of the last buildings when Cáceres was under Muslim power and dates back to the 12th century. (Original) La Torre de la Yerba forma parte del recinto amurallado de la Ciudad Patrimonio de la Humanidad de Cáceres. Es una construcción de origen árabe y levantada sobre sillares romanos.

Es conocida como una torre albarrana (aquellas que sirven para la defensas y también como atalaya). Fue una de la últimas construcciones cuando Cáceres estuvo en poder musulmán y data del siglo XII.

And on the other side of the Balbos Forum, higher up, in the Plaza de las Piñuelas, is the Torre del Horno (8). In one of the corners, next to the Torre de la Yerba, we find the statue of the 'goddess Ceres', a replica of the original statue of Roman origin found in the Cáceres museum, in the Palacio de las Veletas. Today, it is thought that the statue actually represents a man in a toga (possibly a colonial genius who represented the emperor). We return through the Plaza Mayor towards the Arco de la Estrella (Original) La torre que vemos es la Torre de la Hierba o Torre de la Yerba (6), una de las últimas torres construidas por los musulmanes en el siglo XII antes de la conquista definitiva por parte de las tropas cristianas.

En una de las esquinas, junto a la Torre de la Yerba, encontramos la estatua de la 'diosa Ceres', una réplica de la estatua original de origen romano que se encuentra en el museo de Cáceres, en el Palacio de las Veletas.

Statue in central Cáceres located on the side of the cathedral.

(Translated by Google) San Pedro de Alcántara is the patron saint of Extremadura. His statue is located in a corner of the Santa María Co-Cathedral building. , represents the Patron Saint of Extremadura. Sculpted in bronze, slightly over 2 meters high and located at half height on a granite pedestal. The statue, blessed in 1954, is a self-portrait by the sculptor Enrique Pérez Comendador, which seems tremendously presumptuous on his part. It represents the Saint standing on a book, and holding a cross. Artistically, it is one of the best bronze pieces in the monumental area without being anything spectacular. The clothes are too straight, without any sense of movement. On the other hand, the face is more successful in transmitting a feeling of serenity. The sculpture is made of bronze, but it has golden toes, not because it is a different material but because tourists and devotees kiss the feet as a sign of respect. (Original) San Pedro de Alcántara es el patrón de Extremadura. Su estatua está ubicada en una esquina del edificio de la Concatedral de Santa María. , representa al Patrón de Extremadura. Esculpida en bronce, de una altura algo superior a los 2 metros y situada a media altura sobre un pedestal de granito. La estatua, bendecida en 1954., es un autorretrato del escultor Enrique Pérez Comendador, lo que parece tremendamente presuntuoso por su parte. Representa al Santo de pie sobre un libro, y sujetando una cruz. Artísticamente es de lo mejorcito en bronce del área monumental sin ser nada espectacular. Los ropajes son demasiado rectos, sin ninguna sensación de movimiento. En cambio, la cara sí que está más conseguida trasmitiendo una sensación de serenidad. La escultura es de bronce, pero tiene los dedos de los pies dorados, no por ser distinto material sino porque turistas y devotos besan los pies en señal de respeto

(Translated by Google) It is a bronze sculpture that represents San Pedro de Alcántara, the patron saint of Extremadura. His feet are worn out as people touch them for luck. (Original) Es una escultura de bronce que representa a San Pedro de Alcántara, el patrón de Extremadura. Tiene los pies desgastados ya que la gente los toca para que les dé suerte.

(Translated by Google) Statue placed in the old town. The environment where it is located makes it very special. (Original) Estatua colocada en pleno casco antiguo. El entorno donde está ubicada hace que sea muy especial.

(Translated by Google) The sculpture is curious. Its toes are shiny because everyone touches them. (Original) Curiosa la escultura. Tiene los dedos de los pies brillantes porque todo el mundo los toca.

It is a good park and it is almost the biggest park and green space in the city of Cáceres. There is almost no problem in terms of the play environment for children and the possibility of disabled people and wheelchairs entering. In hot seasons, you can use the summer pool. It costs only 2 euros :). You can be in the pool from 12 noon to 9 pm. There is a restaurant and cafe in the park. This Park has a little steep and if you are in a wheelchair, be sure to bring it with you. I use this park to run and exercise in the morning.

easy to walk or bike by, paved and trail. lots of birds.

Good place at Caceres to bring your family. You can do some activities or relax its your choice. But excellent scenic locations available here. Good place for excellent photo clicks.

Lovely place for morning/afternoon walk.

Beautiful space in downtown Caceres. Wonderful sculptures, fountains and bird life. See Hoopoe and Azure winged magpies in this stunning park.

Lovely pool with a bar, loads of green space and trees, plenty of water features and a great sculpture trail. Every time I pass through I see a sculpture I hadn't noticed before!

Much improved park !!! Great place to spend an evening with family/friends

Well, if you are in Trujillo you should visit the place. It will not perhaps impress you much as a building, however, it has relations to one of the greatest conquistadors.

A very nice place to visit and to remember my trip to Peru. Trujillo is a very interesting place to discover and to stroll about.

Interesting little museum

conqueror's house

(Translated by Google) Highly recommended. A tour of all the rooms in the house is included, but photos and videos of the interior are not allowed. (Original) Muy recomendable, se hace un recorrido por todas las estancias de la casa, pero no se permite ni fotos ni vídeos del interior.

(Translated by Google) It's very interesting; it has material samples from both the Castilian and Inca periods. It lacks language accessibility, and perhaps lacks a personal component to the character of Pizarro and his family, instead focusing the museum on his conquests. Recommended. (Original) Es muy interesante, tiene muestras materiales de la época tanto de parte de los castellanos como Inca. Le falta accesibilidad de idiomas y quizás le falta un componente personal al personaje de Pizarro y a su familia en vez de centrar el museo en sus conquistas. Recomendable

(Translated by Google) I liked seeing what Pizarro's house might have looked like, given what the figure represents. The museum upstairs is certainly very simple; it deserves a more educational museum with more engaging displays. There's so much technology at our disposal these days, and something much more modern than simple written sheets could be created. Photos aren't allowed inside, although I've seen reviews with hundreds of them. I liked seeing the original objects on display, but I was expecting more. (Original) Me ha gustado ver cómo podría ser la casa de Pizarro por lo que representa el personaje. Ciertamente que el museo de la planta de arriba es muy simple, se merecería un museo más didáctico, más ameno en su exposicion, hoy en día hay mucha tecnología a nuestro alcance y se podría hacer algo mucho más moderno que unas simples hojas escritas. En el interior no dejan hacer fotos, aunque he visto reseñas con cientos de fotos. Me ha gustado ver los objetos originales que exponen, pero me esperaba algo más.

The museum is absolutely beautiful, great atmosphere of Emilio Tuñón Álvarez, and the exhibition was just lovely! In addition, the staff was very welcoming.

Not sure whether it is normal. But it was free entry on Tuesday morning (20th May). Inside and outside absolutely fantastic and full of surprises. Much larger than you might initially believe.

Wonderful free guided visit to this beautiful collection of Modern Art. The guide, the building and the pieces and installations on display are all truly memorable. Such a delightful surprise even though everyone we spoke to had recommended it!

The new Caceres Museu Helga de Alvear by architects Manailla & Tuñon is a stunning frame for a private collection of +3000 outstanding modern artworks. And then with free access…

Amazing collection of contemporary art within a beautiful building. The staff is very friendly and amazing hosts, the experience wouldn’t be as good as it was if not with the help and presentation from the staff in every room we have visited. I will comeback and recommend for all art and architecture lovers I know.

Thoughtfully placed in an amazing space, the art wowed and amazed in every room we descended to. You walk in on the ground floor and keep going down, floor by floor and it’s still looking out onto the town. Get the lift back up though!

Never such a beautiful built museum The collection of modern art is shown over 4 flours.You will start on the top.

Not a must-see, but gives a nice and different view from the old city. Cool collection of maquettes of palaces and buildings in Cáceres. Has a combination ticket with the tower at the city square.

Scenic part of the old town of Cáceres

Woethwhile visit for the history, picturesque view but dont try driving up in a bi car :) park at the foot of the hill and walk!

Learned more about Caceres’ history and the city walls made by the christians, romans, and jews.

The place is wonderful and the sightseeing of the city from the Tower is amazing

Good explanation of that part of the city and nice views.

Interesting place with amazing story

(Translated by Google) The old town of Cáceres is well worth a leisurely visit. There is a guided tour service. (Original) El casco antiguo de Cáceres bien merece una tranquila visita. Existe un servicio de visitas guiadas.

We walked through Cáceres and we saw on the corner this nice atelier. The owner Fernando Paramio is a passioned creative person and explained his work. Some photo's have an Australia touch combined with Spanish art. A muust visit when you are in Cáceres. The entree is Free bit of course we bought a beautiful photo.

I came from Australia for holidays and I was visiting Cáceres with my Spanish family. Walking back to the car I saw this amazing place that caught my attention as soon as I started seeing all the beautiful pictures. We were so amazed that we decided to go in to have a better look. The photographer was so nice and welcoming. He explained all of his beautiful collection.I felt so identified and happy to see the perfect mixture between the beauty of Australia nature and the beauty of Spanish places. This is definitely the kind of art and photography able to touch your heart. Thank you !!!

This is truly incredible what a nice blend of cultures, art and emotions Fernando has to offer in his dazzling country (: This place is an oasis, a well of inspiration and role model for something worth learning from. Make your way there and witness it yourself.

Fernando thank you for your beautiful gallery. We were so happy to find you and talk to you. We love our purchases and cannot wait to put them on the wall. You were very kind to us but we also think you are very clever and sentimental about Australia, but always realistic. We will think of you when we look at the colourful balcony of birds. We hope you come back to Australia even to visit Muchas gracias Tina and John

Happy I discovered this art gallery while I was strolling in Cáceres streets! Very interesting and beautiful photographs in a nice building. Thank you Fernando for taking the time to tell me more about your art work!

Artsolutely was a special experience for us as Australians visiting Cáceres. As we passed the store in Plaza Mayor we were amazed to see large prints ....... the merging of classical Spanish icons with Australian animals was spectacular. Even more special was spending time with Fernando and listening to his story. As permanent travellers we could only fit a beautiful post card into our luggage.... Velasquez and the lorikeets. In the future we will ask him to post this artwork to Australia. Thank you Fernando. Sheila and Kath

Very friendly owner, very nice pictures, some using digital extra's to make them surreal. Laughed out loud with some of the art, fell quiet with other ones. Touching artwork. Worth the visit!

(Translated by Google) Without a doubt the best oil mill of many that I have visited, in addition to having products related to olive oil of excellent quality.

And they also sell good oil to consume or give as a gift! (Original) Magnífica atención por la misma persona que produce el aceite.

(Translated by Google) We spent this weekend in Marchagaz at the Tenerías rural house. The accommodation is very good, but what I want to highlight is everything we have learned about the culture of olive oil and in particular organic extra virgin oil, thanks to Luis and Lumi, who as owners of the company, helped us They have taught us to value something as common in our homes as oil. The experience has been very rewarding and of course the oil they produce is exceptional. It is worth spending a day in Marchagaz and taking a guided tour of the oil mill and olive groves. We, for our part, have been delighted. We recommend it (Original) Hemos pasado este fin de semana en Marchagaz en la casa rural Tenerías.

(Translated by Google) Disastrous experience. The photos are misleading. The "kitchen" is in a small closet, impossible to cook something decent.

Well worth the trip. A little off the Cáceres tourist trail but near the San Francisco Bridge ruin and on the old pilgrim's trail. Ground floor devoted to exhibits of Cacareño exponents of many arts from music to photography. 1st floor paintings a little dour but an impressive main room with carved wooden ceiling. Top floor takes in Cáceres/Extremadura through the ages - Stone, Bronze, Iron, Roman, etc including the conquistadors and links with the Americas. Also Civil War and post dictatorship autonomy. I felt involved with and informed of Cáceres and its people after a visit here.

Nice museum to drop in and learn about local culture.

This is a very unique and creative gallery! I absolutely will return :)

Enjoyed the experience

Great place.

Ok

Ok

I hope they can add to this and bring more attention in the future. To think that there are cave paintings over 60k years old near a city center! Good stop for a quick visit and to learn something about the area and it’s earliest inhabitants. The attendent was helpful and friendly.

The centre is open every day but the caves are only open on Fridays and then by lottery after prior booking.

A very calm place, the VR experience of the cave system is a must.

Lots of alcohol. Not great value

(Translated by Google) To enter the cave you have to enter a draw. Look on their website to find out how it works. The center has an explanation of the cave and findings inside. (Original) Para entrar a la cueva tienes que entrar en un sorteo. Mira en su web para enterarte de cómo funciona. El centro tiene una explicación de la cueva y de hallazgos del interior.

(Translated by Google) It was a pleasure and an honor to visit one of the oldest caves inhabited by Neanderthals in Europe (66,700 years old), especially considering that only five people are allowed to visit it per week. The staff at the interpretation center, both those outside and the speleologist who constantly accompanied us inside, were wonderful. Ultimately, I am very proud that my city has something so genuine and unique for those who wish to embark on a beautiful journey through the history of Cáceres from its origins to the present day. I'm sure it won't disappoint! (Original) Ha sido un placer y todo un honor visitar una de la cuevas habitadas por el hombre de Neandertal, más antiguas de Europa (66.700 años) y más teniendo en cuenta que sólo la pueden visitar 5 personas a la semana. El personal del centro de interpretación, tanto el de fuera, como el espeleólogo que constantemente nos acompañaba en el interior, se portaron genial con nosotros. Enfin, me siento muy orgulloso de que mi ciudad, disponga de algo tan genuino y único para quien desee iniciar un precioso viaje por la historia de Cáceres desde sus orígenes hasta la actualidad. Seguro que no decepcionará!!.

(Translated by Google) This center for prehistoric contemporary history is located outside the historic city center; I became aware of it by chance through an employee at the local museum (better advertising/publicity?). After visiting caves in Aquitaine (F) and reading about prehistoric art of this period, a visit to Maltravieso can be highly recommended as an introduction to this topic, as in my opinion it is well presented didactically. Apparently the cave cannot be visited; a chamber has been recreated in the center so that you can get a good impression. Entry free for EU citizens, brochure in Spanish/English/French is available. (Original) Dieses Zentrum für prähistorische Zeitgeschichte liegt außerhalb des historischen Stadtkerns; aufmerksam wurde ich eher zufällig darauf durch Mitarbeiterin im lokalen Museum (bessere Werbung/Bekanntmachung?). Nach Besuch von Höhlen in Aquitanien (F) und Lektüre zu prähistorischen Kunst dieser Epoche kann der Besuch von Maltravieso als Einstieg in dieses Thema sehr empfohlen werden, da meiner Meinung nach didaktisch gut präsentiert. Die Höhle ist offenbar nicht zu besichtigen, im Zentrum wurde eine Kammer nachgebaut, so daß ein guter Eindruck mitgenommen werden kann. Eintritt für EU-Bürger kostenlos, Broschüre in Spanisch/Englisch/Französisch liegt aus.

Beautiful square but a little bit polemic statue. Look at his feet. I understand it was created long ago and talks about different time, but it's not beautiful. I like to know it but I don't like what represents.

Interesting thing, celebrating a genocidal maniac

(Translated by Google) A majestic monument in the center of Medellín's plaza. The Town Hall on one side and the castle on the other. We took a guided tour of the Roman theater and went up to the castle. It is very worth it. (Original) Un monumento majestuoso en el centro de la plaza de Medellín. El Ayuntamiento a un lado y el castillo al otro. Hicimos una visita guiada al teatro romano y subimos al castillo. Merece mucho la pena.

(Translated by Google) He was born in the Extremaduran city of Medellín, into a noble family, whose wealth has been the subject of historiographic debate. He decided to seek his fortune in the New World, traveling to Hispaniola and Cuba, where for a short period of time he was mayor of the second city founded by the Spanish during the third expedition to the mainland, which he partially financed. His feud with the governor of Cuba, Diego Velázquez de Cuéllar, caused the trip to be canceled at the last minute, an order that Cortés ignored. Arriving on the continent, Cortés carried out a successful strategy of allying with certain indigenous groups to defeat others. His relationship with a native woman, Doña Marina, who served as his interpreter and with whom he had a son named Martín, was of inestimable help. When the governor of Cuba sent emissaries to arrest Cortés, he confronted them and defeated them, while enlisting the troops that were going to arrest him as reinforcements for his expedition. Cortés sent several letters to King Charles I so that his success in conquest would be recognized instead of being penalized for his mutiny. He was finally granted the title of Marquis of the Valley of Oaxaca, although the more prestigious title of viceroy was given to a high-ranking aristocrat, Antonio de Mendoza y Pacheco. In 1541, Cortés returned to Spain, where he died six years later. (Original) Nació en la ciudad extremeña de Medellín, en el seno de una familia noble, cuya riqueza ha sido tema de debate historiográfico.Decidió buscar fortuna en el Nuevo Mundo viajando a La Española y Cuba, donde por un corto período de tiempo fue alcalde de la segunda ciudad fundada por los españoles durante la tercera expedición a tierra firme, la cual financió parcialmente. Su enemistad con el gobernador de Cuba, Diego Velázquez de Cuéllar, provocó la cancelación del viaje a última hora, una orden que Cortés ignoró. Llegando al continente, Cortés realizó una exitosa estrategia de aliarse con determinados grupos indígenas para derrotar a otros. Fue de inestimable ayuda su relación con una mujer nativa, doña Marina, que le sirvió de intérprete y con quien tuvo un hijo llamado Martín. Cuando el gobernador de Cuba mandó emisarios para apresar a Cortés, este se enfrentó a ellos y los derrotó, al tiempo que enroló a la tropa que iba a arrestarlo como refuerzos para su expedición. Cortés mandó varias cartas al rey Carlos I a fin de que fuese reconocido su éxito de conquista en lugar de ser penalizado por su amotinamiento. Finalmente le fue concedido el título de marqués del Valle de Oaxaca, si bien el más prestigioso título de virrey le fue dado a un aristócrata de alto rango, Antonio de Mendoza y Pacheco. En 1541, Cortés retornó a España, donde falleció seis años después.
