TOWER OF BUJACO

TORRE BUJACO
Civil architecture

The Tower of Bujaco is the most important in the city, and one of the main symbols of Cáceres

The Tower of Bujaco is the most important in the city, and one of the main symbols of Cáceres. It is a flanking tower built by the Almohads in the twelfth century atop Roman ashlar ruins. It has a square   plan, with two lateral parapets and a frontal one, the latter in the Renaissance style, added to the tower in the eighteenth century. Its approximate height is 25 metres with battlements top.

It is called Bujaco as a butchered form of the name of the Caliph, Abu-Ya’qub, whose troops conquered the city in 1173, after six months of siege. It was also known as the Clock Tower because, from the late sixteenth century to the end of the eighteenth century, it had clock installed in it that served as a       temporal orientation for those who inhabited the public square and were engaged in trade. This clock was moved to the Church of Saint Matthew, where it can currently be seen.

The Tower of Bujaco houses a commendable centre of interpretation on the past of the city called “Tres momentos en la historia de Cáceres” (Three moments in the history of Cáceres), in which, through explanatory panels and photographs, we can see the historical development of the city from its Roman foundation to the Middle Ages.

Recommendations: It is a magnificent viewpoint from which you can see a beautiful panoramic view of the Historic Centre and the long defensive wall.
