Free Tour Monumental Plasencia. Cathedrals, palaces, and walls.

Our Tour is the best way to discover the most iconic parts of monumental Plasencia. 
It begins at the Fuente del Cabildo, in front of the north entrance of the New Cathedral.

We start the tour in front of the most important building in the city. Did you know that Plasencia has two cathedrals? You will find out why.

Leaving behind the clergy district and its spectacular buildings, we arrive at the Palace of the Monroy or the Two Towers, a grand castle that holds secrets of medieval Spain within its thick walls, as it was the retirement mansion of Ferdinand the Catholic or the birthplace of María la Brava.

Seeking the noble heart of the monumental city, we reach the Plaza de San Nicolás, dominated by the impressive bulk of the Palace of the Marquisate of Mirabel and the Convent of San Vicente Ferrer. Wars and intrigues await us in an authentic medieval game of thrones.

From San Nicolás, we move towards the Plaza Mayor via the Zapatería street, named after the guild of shoemakers and tanners. Highlighting the Hotel Palacio Carvajal-Girón.

The cozy Plaza Mayor serves as a backdrop to learn about the curious story of Abuelo Mayorga (an automaton that presides over the town hall), where we put the finishing touch to this essential Tour to discover Plasencia, the best-kept secret of Extremadura!
