Impressive 15th-century arched plaza

Excellent

Today, this is an authentic village of less than 3,000 inhabitants, but in the 16th century it was home to 7,000 and in the 19th century it was home to 6,000. In fact, it was the third-largest village in the province of Cáceres.

Thanks to its impressive past, Garrovillas is home to numerous grand monuments, the most important of which is the Plaza Mayor. It’s one of Spain’s largest squares and features Gothic-style arched porticoes and Classical façades. It was built in the 15th and 16th centuries and was declared a National Historic-Artistic Monument.

Other notable monuments include the Castle of Floripes, the Alconétar Bridge, and various religious monuments.
