Cáceres Spain - Historic Walled Medieval Town & UNESCO World Heritage Site - 2024

Cáceres is a city of Spain located in the autonomous community of Extremadura. The medieval walled city has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Cáceres lies at the feet of the Sierra de la Mosca, a modest hill range. It is part of the Vía de la Plata ("Silver Route") path of the Camino de Santiago that crosses the west of the Iberian Peninsula.

There have been settlements near Cáceres since prehistoric times. Evidence of this can be found in the caves of Maltravieso and El Conejar. The city was founded by the Romans in 25 BC.

The Old Town (Parte Antigua) still has its ancient walls; this part of town is also well known for its multitude of storks' nests. The walls contain a medieval town setting with no outward signs of modernity, which is why many television shows and films have been shot there.

Cáceres was declared a World Heritage City by UNESCO in 1986 because of the city's blend of Roman, Moorish, Northern Gothic and Italian Renaissance architecture. Thirty towers from the Islamic period still stand in Cáceres, of which the Torre del Bujaco is the most famous.

The old town is what you picture an old town to look like. It’s like stepping into a time machine to see what it looked like hundreds of years ago. Walking through the old streets was amazing and is a place I would recommend to anyone visiting Spain.
