Top places to visit
1. Plaza Mayor
The Plaza Mayor square in Cáceres is one of the town’s major historical landmarks. Stroll down its length and be rewarded with a gorgeous showcase of heritage architecture. You’ll see pretty whitewashed façades that rise up from street-level arcades of weathered stone. Check out atmospheric restaurants adorned with white awnings and sunny terraces or people-watch as you sit on the steps of a 15th-century tower.

2. Roman Theatre
When Mérida’s first citizens wanted to be entertained, one of the places they headed was the Roman Theatre. The venue was inaugurated around 15 B.C. and could accommodate up to 6,000 spectators. Allow at least half an hour for a self-guided tour of the well-preserved site. For many centuries, it lay buried underground, until excavations started in 1910.

5. Temple of Diana
The Temple of Diana was a sacred place of worship dedicated to the Roman imperial cult, which regarded emperors and some members of their families as gods. The granite structure was built in the 1st century and would have been part of the forum, where the city’s most important buildings were located. Look up in awe at this ancient structure.
