The Cáceres Episcopal Palace is located in Plaza de Santa María. It was originally built in the 13th century as a Parish house. The building’s exterior, which is 16th century Renaissance style, features two medallions above a rounded door. The figures in the medallions are male and female Native Americans- a testament to Spain’s involvement in colonizing the New World. Inside, the Catholic bishop lives and governs the diocese Coria Cáceres. Only the exterior of the palace can be visited.
