The historic center of Cáceres, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is one of the most impressive monumental sites in Spain. Strolling through its cobblestone streets is like stepping back in time to the Middle Ages, thanks to its excellent state of preservation and the absence of modern buildings that disrupt its aesthetics.

In 2011, the redevelopment and remodeling works of the Plaza Mayor were completed, led by architects Antonino Antequera, Francisco Pol Méndez and Asunción Rodríguez Montejano. The project included the creation of several spaces, such as the Summer Plaza, a shady place with trees and fountains; the Winter Square, flanked by a fountain wall and a continuous stone bench; the new Music Forum, in the Balbos Forum, next to the Town Hall, for chamber concerts; and a large central free space for events, whose pavement formally recalls the vernacular Cáceres brick vault, and which has water fountains to combat the summer heat. If you visit Cáceres, you cannot miss exploring this emblematic Plaza Mayor and admiring its rich history and architecture.

Being able to walk anywhere through its narrow cobblestone streets is like traveling to another era. You will be surrounded by mansions, Renaissance palaces and churches crowned with stork nests and you will understand why Cáceres is a World Heritage City. Prepare your camera to photograph one of the most beautiful historic centers in Spain.

The interior has a rectangular plan with three naves, with pointed arches and ribbed vaults. Its altarpiece stands out, from the 16th century, made of cedar and pine without polychrome dedicated to the Assumption of the Virgin, made by Roque Balduque and Guillén Ferrant. Also worth highlighting is the Carvajal chapel, with a baroque altarpiece with Saint Michael the Archangel, and the Black Christ chapel, whose image is the protagonist of one of the most important processions of Holy Week in Caceres.
