Extremadura Guide Eng 2016
As regards Mérida , the visitor will take delight in watch- ing a large part of the great Roman heritage preserved in this locality, by visiting the theatre, the amphitheatre, the circus, tem- ples, bridges or museums, all of which suggest Roma’s sig- nificant presence in the capital of the province of La Lusitania. In Cáceres there is a historical centre that is unique in Spain. There are impressive civil, military and religious build-
ings. Besides, it is surprising how its ancient districts have been conserved. Most of themwere built from the 15th cen- tury on, in line with its Roman and Moorish past. In fact, for- tified walls and singular constructions, which date from these ages, are still preserved. The royal Monastery of Guadalupe , in La Puebla de Guadalupe, is beyond doubt the masterpiece of the Mude-
“Templo de Diana”. Mérida
