"The Monumental City of Cáceres preserves a unique historical-artistic complex that, in 1986, was recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage City. Streets, squares, palaces, churches and walls, in a magnificent state of preservation, will be able to transport you to a glorious past, in which you will savor the wonderful artistic manifestations that the three cultures: Christian, Muslim and Jewish, left in our city. This diversity will allow you to enter the Monumental City through a Roman gate, find the beautiful Old Jewish Quarter at the exit of an Almohad tower or contemplate a Renaissance palace next to a Mudejar façade. The cultural mix has bequeathed us an excellent Monumental Heritage at the same time that it has forged the hospitable character of the people of Cáceres. Enjoy Cáceres, it is a Monumental Experience."

The writer says. "making Cáceres unique in Spain for the variety of monumental architecture it squeezed into a medieval street plan. Today, Spanish film crews regularly use the city as a backdrop in historical films, which are made all the more atmospheric by the hundreds of storks that
return regularly to nest on the towers and ramparts between February and August"
