Cáceres is the capital of the province. Its vernacular architecture is characterised by granite-built houses, narrow cobbled streets, fortified walls, and a remarkable blend of Roman, Islamic, Gothic, and Renaissance styles. It is an UNESCO World Heritage Site; significant buildings include the Concatedral de Santa María, the Torre de Bujaco, and numerous medieval palaces. The surrounding countryside is dominated by the dehesa landscape, supporting olive groves, cereal cultivation, cork oak forests, and livestock farming, particularly Iberian pigs and sheep. Cáceres stands out from similar historic towns because it possesses one of Europe’s best-preserved medieval urban centres, with an exceptional concentration of monuments spanning more than 2,000 years of history
