Within Extremadura, encircled by city walls. There are many palaces and towers which were financed by sending gold from the Americas by the conquistadors. Caceres was founded in the 1st century by the Romans as Norba Caesarina. It is one of just 6 cities in Spain designated by UNESCO as World Heritage Sites. Once the Romans left, here settled all the cultures that have been made in south Spain. There is evidence of all these cultures to be found within the city.

   
Modern Caceres is located southwest of the Barrio Antiguo which is enclosed by massive ramparts. The heart of the old city lies between Plaza Santa Maria and Plaza San Meteo. Here you will see homes once inhabited by the nobility. Stroll casually along the narrow, cobbled streets and you will see the walls that enclose the old upper town, a mixture of Roman and Arab building. Their state of preservation is excellent. About 30 of the wall towers remain but all are heavily restored. The towers were at one point, much taller. They were ordered to be cut down to size by Queen Isabella. The largest of the towers is at Plaza del General Mola.
 

 
There is a Gothic cathedral by the name of Santa Maria, constructed sometime in the 1500's. Here lie the remains of many of the Conquistadors.

For historians and shoppers, Caceres offers a good selection of artefacts to take home. Sights here are plentiful and getting about is easy by foot.
