14th Century Palace
The ancient Torreorgaz Palace
is built on Arabic foundations with a linteled door and a Baroque coat
of arms. It is in the heart of the Cáceres's old town and artistic
centre, which has been declared a World Heritage Site.
This 14th Century Parador,
overlooked by its narrow tower, was founded by Diego García de Ulloa,
knight of the Order of Santiago. |
|
|
| Gothic, Renaissance and
Baroque styles are reflected in the building and its surroundings.
Its internal courtyard, cobbled
exterior, exposed wooden beams, and the lounge's original mantelpiece make
up the hotel's interior decoration.
The bedrooms, decorated in
soft shades of cream are tasteful, spacious and comfortable.

300 varieties of Spanish wine.
