Activity itinerary

Palacio del Marques de Mirabel
  • 15m
Start the tour by admiring the fine Renaissance façade of the 15th-century Mirabel Palace. The most important civil building in the city, erected by the first Dukes of Plascencia, was declared a site of cultural interest in 1977.
Catedral Nueva de Plasencia
  • 20m
  • Admission ticket not included
Then head to the two-in-one Cathedral of Plasencia, a special fusion between the Old Cathedral and New Cathedral. The former dates back to the 13th century and the latter wasn’t constructed until two centuries later, which makes the church a gigantic structure with a wide range of architectural styles from Romanesque, Gothic, and Renaissance to Plateresque. The temple is home to a big collection of artefacts and treasures, most notably the intricate choir and the Baroque altarpiece by the most renowned artists at the time.
Municipal Tourist Office
  • 15m
Move on to the Main Square, the central gathering spot surrounded by historic buildings, lovely bars, quaint cafés, and inviting restaurants. Locals and tourists alike love hanging out under the shades of the green trees and white arcades to have a chat or just watch people in their busy daily lives. The cosy square also hosts lively street markets occasionally.
Plasencia
  • 10m
Upon leaving the square full of vibes, stroll along the Sunny Street. The busiest shopping street in the Old Town, whose name derives from its orientation towards the East, is great for window shopping and savouring the vibrant rhythm.
Plaza Mayor
  • 15m
Proceed to enter through the Sun Portal, a main gate of the ancient city walls. The portal, together with the namesake shopping street, is notable for its exact location towards the sunrise. Proudly shining in the sunlight, the shield of Plasencia sculpted on the gate warmly welcomes visitors who flock to the city to explore the abundant heritage.
Plasencia
  • 10m
After that, walk by the well-preserved ruins of Plasencia Walls. Dating back to the 12th century, the fortress walls look amazingly intact despite witnessing continual aggressive battles between the Arabs and Christians for centuries.
Acueducto de Plasencia
  • 15m
On the next step, head north to get out of the Old Town where Plasencia Aqueduct stands. What’s left of the great hydraulic engineering work bringing water to fountains all over the town is 55 arches, about 300 metres long and 18 metres high.
Parque De La Coronación
  • 15m
Part of the aqueduct runs through the Coronation Park, where the tour gives way to a self-guided expedition in the wonderland of fairy-tale gardens inhabited by many species of birds and lovely fountains. With the hydraulic monument and beautiful greenery landscapes, the enchanting park is perfect for souvenir photos and relaxing, quiet strolls at the end of an exciting journey.
