Obverse descriptionDeclared a World Heritage Site in 1986, Cáceres has an exceptionally well-preserved historic center of great unity that illustrates the passage of different cultures. Its origins can be traced back to Roman, Visigothic, Islamic, Gothic and Renaissance times, including an old Jewish quarter in the current Barrio de San Antonio. This set is included within a walled enclosure of approximately 1200 m. long, of Almohad origin, often hidden behind buildings from a later period.
