Church Of San Mateo
Previously a mosque then later a Christian temple of worship, the main body of this church is Gothic in style, but its tower was built in the late 18th century. Another tower that shouldn’t be missed is that of the Cigüeñas (Storks) at the Palacio de los Cáceres Ovando, which still proudly preserves its century old battlements.
Judería Vieja (Old Jewish Quarter)
The narrow, steep alleyways, as though part of a laberynth enticing you inside, will make you imagine how it was to live in olden times. Here we come across the hermitage of San Antonio and the house of the Judío Rico (Rich Jew). Just enjoy whatever you discover.
Palacio De La Generala
This exquisite palace was the home of the Monroy family. In the 17th century María Josefa de Osvando, wife of General Antonio Vicente de Arce, lived here which is why it is known as the Casa de la Generala.
Palacio De Los Golfines De Abajo
This beautifully built palace has two distinctive architectural styles: the Gothic fortress house from the 15th century and the Plateresque façade from the 16th century.
Plaza De San Jorge
Presiding over this square is the bronze stautue of St. George, patron saint of Cáceres, and the dragon which always accompanies him, and here we can also see the Gothic Casa de los Becerra, and the stunning façade of the church of San Francisco Javier, which displays its great Jesuit past. Neither should we miss the Plaza de San Mateo, which leads to the squares of San Pablo and Las Veletas.
Plaza De Santa María
When we find ourselves in the centre of this square, we realise we are surrounded by century old buildings, from the cathedral-church of Santa María, with its sculpture of a Black Christ inside, and the Palacio de Carvajal, with its beautiful courtyard and gardens, to the house of Hernando de Ovando and the Bishop’s Palace, and the Diputación Provincial and House of the Mayoralgo.
Plaza Mayor
Meeting place for locals and obligatory stop for visitors. Plaza Mayor, with its distinctive elongated shape, is closed by the Town Hall, which occupies a 19th century classical style building, at one end and by the city walls and archwayed entrance into the old town by the other. If you visit at night, you will be delighted by the culinary offer of its restaurants and bars.
Torre De Bujaco
Reconstruida por los almohades en el siglo XII, merece la pena subir a su parte superior, desde donde se contemplan una de las vistas más bonitas de la ciudad de Cáceres. La cámara de fotos se convertirá en su gran aliada, antes de visitar otras torres que también merecen la pena, como la Torre de los Púlpitos, la antiquísima Torre de la Yerba o la Torre de Sande, con su ya característica enredadera que le hace única.
