Trujillo Castle and the Alcazaba of Trujillo, two historical gems in the city of Cáceres:
Trujillo Castle (Alcazaba)
Origin: Initially built as an Arab citadel in the 9th century on Cabeza del Zorro hill.
Later renovations in the 10th and 11th centuries and Christian expansions after the Reconquista (1232).
Architecture: Irregular layout adapted to the terrain, with granite walls, barbican towers, and two cisterns.
Simple interior: parade ground, cisterns, and, later, a chapel in the keep dedicated to Our Lady of Victory.

El Mirador is located in the old town of Trujillo, next to the castle. From here, you can enjoy a spectacular view of the Extremaduran landscape.
Architecture and Environment: El Mirador was built using the technique of Spanish colonial architecture, combined with local elements. It has three levels, and at the top, there is a panoramic terrace surrounded by wooden fences and columns.

Well-preserved fortified castle built by the Moors during their medieval occupation on a hill overlooking the city of Trujillo. Incredible views of the city and surrounding landscape from the castle walls.
