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.
Iberian pork loin with Casar cheese and rosemary roast goat, are typical dishes of the varied Extremaduran cuisine.
Cáceres's old town and artistic centre enriches the Parador's appeal and there is only one vehicle entrance to this beautiful historical area.
It is on the calle Ancha; the Plaza de Santa Clara is the nearest landmark. If you are travelling to the Parador by car you will not be able to pass the bollards in the plaza. To pass through you need to request access from the local police.
You should press the intercom on the traffic lights. Tell them that you have a reservation at the Parador and they will lower the bollards. If another vehicle has passed through before you, never follow it through. Wait until the bollards rise up again and then request access yourself.
