Follow our steps and we will tell you the history of the civilizations that at some point lived within its walls: Arabs, Christians, Jews... Their legacy still lives on in every corner.
Our steps will take us to marvelous palaces such as Golfines de Abajo, Carvajal, Toledo-Moctezuma (home to the daughter of the Aztec Emperor Moctezuma II) or the Palacio de Las Veletas (which houses the Cáceres Museum and the second largest cistern in the world).
