It is one of the most emblematic buildings in Cáceres, blending Gothic and Renaissance styles. It was the residence of the Catholic Monarchs in 1477 and belonged to the Golfín lineage, a noble family key to the Reconquista in Extremadura. Its unique coats of arms are especially notable.
We recommend visiting early in the morning (10-11 a.m.) or late in the afternoon. Avoid holiday weekends. The quietest months are January-February and November. In summer, its cool stone halls offer relief from the heat.
Accessibility is limited due to its original medieval structure. The ground floor is accessible, but the upper floors require climbing historic stairs. Adapted visits are available with advance booking. More details can be found in their contact form.
A 5-minute walk away: Main Square, Star Arch, and the Co-Cathedral of Saint Mary. Within 10 minutes: the Casa de las Veletas Museum and the Jewish Quarter. Check routes at the Cáceres Tourist Office.
Wear comfortable shoes for the uneven historic floors. Non-flash photography is allowed. Large backpacks are not permitted. The audio guide is essential for understanding the architectural details. Look for the coat of arms of the Catholic Monarchs in the main hall!
