Coria Castle is an imposing medieval fortress located in the upper part of Coria's historic center, very close to the Cathedral, and is one of the city's most prominent landmarks. It is integrated into the walled enclosure, forming part of the defensive complex of Roman origin. Main construction: between 1473 and 1478, commissioned by García Álvarez de Toledo, Marquis of Coria and Duke of Alba.

The Plaza de la Iglesia (Church Square) in Casas de Don Gómez is one of the town's most distinctive spaces. The Church of Casas de Don Gómez (San Gabriel Arcángel) is located in the square. It is an 18th-century Baroque church with a prominent bell tower, groin vaults, and an interior adorned with ornate altarpieces.

Galisteo Wall, which still completely surrounds the old part of the town, and next to which is the keep known as La Picota, considered the greatest symbol of the municipality.

The Iron Bridge in Coria is a beautiful civil work of metal architecture and nineteenth-century modernist design. It was built by the Asturian engineers D. Salvador and D. Próspero Ardura. The bridge stands over the Alagón River, connecting both banks in the City of Coria. Its total length is 178.30 meters, and its deck has a width of 7.78 meters, with a two-way road flanked by two sidewalks.

The Medieval Bridge of Coria is a historical structure that is located next to the main façade of the Monastery of San Juan Bautista or Corias. Its construction had the objective of connecting the monastery with the town of Corias. Although its foundations are believed to be of Roman origin, the bridge was rebuilt in 1571, as indicated by an inscription preserved on one of the stones of its parapet.

Founded before the Romans occupied the Iberian Peninsula, Coria was known as Cauria or Caurus. The Romans gave it its current Latin name, CAVRIUM. Later, he was granted Roman citizenship. In the Visigothic era, the Diocese of Coria was created, which maintained Coria as an episcopal see until the 20th century. After the Reconquista, Coria became the capital of a manor to which towns that still bear the name of Coria belonged, such as Guijo de Coria or Casillas de Coria.
