This cathedral is really beautiful and really big. We have enjoyed this so much. Beautiful mosaiques inside. You can visit this cathedral sure for 30 till 60 minutes. The windows are incredibly beautiful. Entrance is not free. 8 eur per person. Don't miss it.
Very interesting cathedral. We paid to enter €8 per person which includes audio guide. There is an old building and new building to explore. The altars are incredibly ornate.
A fantastic treasure of architecture and art. Maybe 8 euros is a but too much but it was still worth it.
Las Edades del Hombre..: great way to learn about transit across sacred art… if you can, spend a few days enjoying Plasencia, the food, people and the countryside. You will truly enjoy it!
Must see if you are in Plasencia! For only 4€ you can visit this fantastic place including a very interesting audio tour. You can see the history of the old cathedral of the 14th century and the new one of the 16th century build next to each other. Impressive!!!
Beautiful decoration on the inside of this noble and strong cathedral.
A beautiful cathedral, but there is only a small part you can see without paying entrance.
OK but others in the region more impressive and in better setting

I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain...
Whenever I am in Plasencia visiting my partner's family, we always make a stop here. They have a nicely curated selection of books and the atmosphere is really great for browsing. I always walk away with something fun to add to my bookshelf.
Big diversity, very kind people, highly recommended!!
Great spot. Totally recomendable
(Translated by Google) Although I live in a town near Madrid, your recommendations, exquisite service, and thoughtful delivery have made this my go-to bookstore. I hope to visit you soon. Thank you for everything. (Original) Aunque vivo en un pueblo de Madrid,sus recomendaciones, exquisito trato y sus detalles en los envíos, han hecho que sea mi librería de cabecera. Espero poder haceros alguna visita pronto. Gracias por todo
(Translated by Google) We went this afternoon and they let us in with our dogs. The assistants greeted them and everything. The place, the music, the decor make you feel very welcome. They have books in very nice editions. We bought three books. Another customer came in with another dog, and then ours started barking, so we left so as not to disturb them and break the cozy atmosphere. (Original) Hemos ido esta tarde y nos han dejado entrar con nuestros perritos. Las dependientas, les han saludado y todo. El local, la música, la decoración te hace sentir muy a gusto. Tiene libros en edicciciones muy bonitas. Hemos comprado tres libros. Ha entrado otra clienta con otro perrito y elntonces los nuestros se han puesto a ladrar y hemos salido para no molestar y no romper ese ambiente tan acogedor.
(Translated by Google) A two-night visit to Plasencia and we discovered this incredible bookstore. We went in with our 11-month-old baby and each of us left with a book. The way they set everything up is fantastic, especially the children's area. Lots of female authors as soon as you walk in, it's a pleasure to find places like this! (Original) Visita de 2 noches en Plasencia y descubrimos esta increíble librería. Entramos con nuestro bebé de 11 meses y salimos con un libro cada uno. Genial cómo tienen montado todo, especialmente la zona infantil. Muchas autoras nada más entrar, da gusto encontrar sitios así!!
(Translated by Google) A very cozy bookstore with a calm and pleasant atmosphere.

Sprawling leafy park home to ducks, peacocks & birds of prey & 20th-century civil war structures.
Slide 1 of 8
A greenland in the middle of Plasencia which is very well maintained and has lots of animals like Peacock, ducks, etc. A beautiful park to spend time with kids who would be fascinated to find these animals there and also spend time playing and running around. It also has some water bodies that maintain the cool temperature in the park and which makes it a preferred site to spend in summer.
Great place to take children to see the birds especially the peacocks and ducks.
I've been here many times since I was a kid. One of the good things about it is that it's free to enter! Although, It was deafening due to the cicadas, and it smelled of the poop stains across the footpath. The front gate is always open until closing time, and the peacocks do get out, which worries me since I didn't see anyone around to keep an eye on them.
Lovely park. Lots of very friendly peacocks.
Loved this place! Stumbled across this park after I visited the aqua duct. Full of peacocks, ducks and wonderful native flora. Great for a nice stroll thru the gardens before dinner time. Must visit in the city.
Lovely park absolutely full of Peacocks
Intriguing little park in the centre of town, full of bird life, water features, and large rocks. Nice place to sit in the shade for a while
Not only peacocks and ducks but a beautiful area with winding path among rocks and exotic trees.

Swimming in the bypass of the river and enjoy coffee or beer in the bar. The pool will be cleaned twice a week. The water quality is also monitored bij de gouvernement. In the beginning of the season the water can be a little cold. In the afternoon many families come here together to cool in the shades of the trees.
Nice walk in the park at night after dinner, near the river and next to restaurants and bars.
Excellent free park up
A pleasantly quiet place to sit under the trees ...
Best place to spend a summer hot afternoon in Plasencia in Plasencia for
Great spot for your leisure and comfort.
Very nice place for children and sports!
