All of its tourist attractions take on a new identity at night, thanks to the careful illumination of its spaces, monuments and buildings.
The Bujaco Tower, for example, was built in the 13th century as a watchtower to keep watch over the city. It stands at the highest point of the city, next to an old windmill. From there you can see all of Cáceres and its surroundings. At night the view is worth enjoying.
The Co-cathedral of Cáceres, meanwhile, was built in the 15th century and is considered one of the most important monuments of Spanish Gothic architecture. It was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1985. The cathedral has three naves and its façade includes two towers that are crowned by pinnacles. The interior has many chapels with 16th-century altarpieces.
The Plaza de Santa Maria is located near the Cathedral of Santa Maria. The square was built in the 16th century and has been used as a tourist attraction ever since.
The Plaza de Santa María is one of the most beautiful squares in Spain and one of the best known attractions in Cáceres. It was built between 1520 and 1525 at the behest of Cardinal Francisco Jiménez de Cisneros, who wanted to turn Cáceres into a religious centre on a par with Toledo or Salamanca.
