Old Jewish Quarter (Barrio de San Antonio)
Barrio de San Antonio (Judería Vieja)
The former Jewish quarter south of the old town, with whitewashed lanes, flower pots and quiet uphill paths that overlook the city walls.
The San Antonio district was the medieval Jewish quarter of Cáceres. Unlike the core of the old town, with its stone mansions of the nobility, this area is made up of low whitewashed houses, steep stone steps and blooming flower pots, and its atmosphere is serene. The small Chapel of San Antonio here is said to have been converted from a former synagogue. It is a 20–30 minute walk downhill from behind the Cáceres Museum, making it ideal for an evening stroll and photos.
