Guided tour by an expert and suitable for any child or adult, who want to learn the history of computing from the first computers personal to the models of 15 years ago, passing also the first PDA, smartphone, and tablet. The Museum is made up of more than 130 computers, of which 70% are from Apple (Complete Collection) and the other 30% are brands such as IBM, Radio Shack, SECOINSA, Spectrum Sinclair, Philips, Dragon, MSX, Atari, BBC, Commodore, Sanyo, Sony, Acorn, Osborne, Amstrad, Toshiba, Siemens, Sharp, Compaq and as time passes, more are added. An hour of visit that shows the evolution of the games or the most professional applications through the last 4 decades, in a practical and fun way using computers, since most are operational. It is amazing to see these machines actually and working. You will learn and have a great time on a trip to the past, you will not forget.

Situated in the old city at the top close to the San Francisco Javier church. Free admission to EU residents. Allow a couple of hours for looking around this amazing museum, it is set out to start in Paleolithic times through history up to modern times, all with special relevance to Cáceres. There is a cistern there which was used as a public bath in the past. Photos are allowed!

This is a real ‘must see’ in Caceres - a tribute to the labours and research undertaken by Jose de la Torre Gentil which celebrates his discovery of the 12th Century Arab house in his own home! We were thrilled to meet his granddaughter who introduced us to the house. A wonderful piece of living history.

When strolling through the narrow streets of medieval Caceres one finds this lovely square fillled with sun and beautiful buildings. One can imagine the importance of such open spaces during the many sieges the inhabitants experienced.

Family brought me to Extremadura and Caceres and I have returned now several years and I just love it! Yes, it´s warm and speed of walking becomes a bit slower and the water pits needed more often but it´s so worth it! Caceres has so many great things; history, buildings, Plaza Mayor with all it´s cafeterias and outdoor servings, great views to the unique towers and old murals (also seen in Game of Thrones). In addition you have world calss resturants and in Casar de Caceres, just 13km away, you have the price winning cheesery "Queso de Casar" where you can by factory fresh cheses and even have a tour with tasting (wine included)!

The Palace of the Golfines de Abajo in Caceres houses an interesting display of artistic patrimony from the Foundation Tatiana Pérez de Guzmán el Bueno. This house museum offers the possibility to know the evolution of nobility through the lineage of the Golfin family, who lived in this land since the 15th century. It is an ambiance museum, which recreates a house of the Caceres nobility and, by walking through, the visitor can learn more about diverse aspects of the daily life of its owners: their taste, fashion, beliefs and hobbies through the rich artistic assets and family documents collected across centuries, with works from the 14th to the 20th century.

The Catholic monarch, Isabel and Fernando, were guests in this house during their two visits to Caceres. The house has a 15th portion that presents a house-fortress appearance complete of tower with machicolations. The other is a 16th century humanistic addition decorated with fantastic animals.

Just off the Plaza Mayor, this is one of the tower you see from that square. It is a rather imposing tower, even though it is not very high. The latter is great, as one can climb up this tower, which is not too arduous. From the top you enjoy a great view over the plaza Mayor as well as the old town, and can walk over a small section of the city wall to a second, less imposing, tower. A great start to a visit of the old town and get yourself orientated.
