Palacio de Carvajal
A free-to-enter 15th-century noble palace with a round tower, a courtyard and an ancient fig tree. It houses the provincial tourist information centre.
The Palacio de Carvajal stands beside the cathedral. It has a round tower, and in its inner courtyard grows a fig tree said to be centuries old. Restored and open to the public free of charge, the palace presents the history of the building and tourist information for the province of Cáceres. Its tourist desk offers maps and advice on day trips to nearby places. A visit takes about 20 minutes and is a good introduction to the layout of the old town’s noble residences.
