Cáceres Episcopal Palace

In 1261, this Parish house was built and has been reformed and enlarged several times throughout centuries.

 

The main façade was built in 1587 in Renaissance style. We should highlight the door with a round arch, decorated with dressed ashlars and with forged iron bars on it.

 

Inside this group, we can find two medallions with themes related to the Conquest of America. Inside the building, there is a courtyard with portico decorated with several Episcopal coats of arms. In the upper part we can see the coat of arms of the bishop Galarza.

 

Another façade, the one located in the street of the Arco de la Estrella, presents the coat of arms of the bishop Don Alonso Enríquez de Mendoza. Since many years, the bishop lives here and he governs the diocese Coria-Cáceres from it. Here, we can also find the Diocesan archive. Felipe II stayed here.
