BIRD'S EYE VIEW ROUTE

RUTA A VISTA DE PÁJARO
Bird Watching
Descripción

"A bird's eye view" allows us to take a tour centred on the monumental city of Cáceres within the city walls.

Our route will start from the steps of the Town Hall, in the Plaza Mayor, where we will be able to see buildings such as the Town Hall itself, the Hermitage of Peace, the Tower of Bujaco, the 12th century Almohad wall, and the Forum of the Balbos. We will enter the Monumental City through the Arch of the Star, between the Tower of Bujaco and the Tower of the Pulpits. In Santa María Square, we will enter Carvajal Palace, where we will see the Interpretation Centre, which informs us about the main regions of the province. In addition, we will be able to contemplate the cloister and its wonderful Renaissance garden, in which a thousand-year-old fig tree stands out. Leaving, we will admire the Concatedral of Santa María, of marked Romanesque style of transition to the Gothic, with Renaissance traces in the choir and in the tower. In this area we can see the Episcopal Palace and the Hernando de Ovando Palace, and other palaces such as the Mayorazgo Palace, the Provincial Council Palace, the Palace of the Duques de Valencia and the Golfines de Abajo Palace. We will then move on to the Plaza de San Jorge, to see the Church of San Francisco Javier and the Convent of the Jesuits. Here we will make a brief stop to rest, as this is where the public toilets, fountains and shops are located. We will go to the upper part of the Monumental City along the Cuesta de la Compañía, where we will visit the Casa de los Becerra and the Cacereña Holy Week Dissemination Centre, declared to be of International Tourist Interest, located in the Crypt of the Church of San Francisco Javier, which contains information about the Brotherhoods, the "Pasos" and the Processions. Here we can also access the Cistern of the Convent of the Jesuits.
Following the Cuesta de la Compañía we will reach the Plaza de San Mateo, around which we will see several buildings of artistic interest, such as the Casa del Sol and the Casa del Águila, as well as the Church of San Mateo, which gives its name to the square. From this square, we will move on to the adjacent Plaza de San Pablo, where the Stork's Palace stands out from the rest, as it is the only one that has preserved its tower with battlements, without suffering the collapse ordered by the Catholic Queen.  We then move on to the Plaza de las Veletas, where we find the Museum of Cáceres, which houses a magnificent Arabian cistern; the Casa de los Caballos, attached to the Museum, houses the Fine Arts Section, with paintings and sculptures of great interest. Finally, from the Plaza de las Veletas we will approach the San Antonio neighbourhood, an old Jewish quarter of Caceres, which revolves around the synagogue, now the San Antonio Hermitage. Returning to the Plaza de San Mateo, we will head towards the Calle de los Condes, at the end of which we can see the Palacio de los Golfines de Arriba, and from here towards the Adarve de Santa Ana, next to which the Palacio de los Condes de Adanero stands out, with a magnificent Mannerist façade, unique in this style in the city. To leave the Intramural City we will descend through the Adarves and pass again through the Arco de la Estrella towards the Plaza Mayor, where this route began and where it ends.
