Declared a World Heritage City and known as ‘the town of a thousand and one coats of arms’, Cáceres preserves one of the most impressive monumental ensembles in Spain. Strolling through its old part, full of cobbled streets, is like travelling back in time, passing through the Arco de la Estrella, the Plaza de Santa María, San Jorge, Las Veletas...
Not to be missed is the Museum of Cáceres with works by Picasso and Miró and the second largest water cistern in the world, as well as the Helga de Alvear Foundation for contemporary art.
For the best views of Cáceres, there is no better place than the Mirador del Santuario de la Virgen de la Montaña on the outskirts of Cáceres.
Also worth a visit, just 10 km from Cáceres, is the Vostell Museum, located in the Natural Monument of Los Barruecos.
In recent years, Cáceres has been the setting for major productions such as Game of Thrones, Romeo and Juliet and House of the Dragon.
Cáceres surprises all travellers with its exceptional state of conservation, making it a must on any trip to the most beautiful places to see in Extremadura.
