THE SEPHARDIC LEGACY IN CÁCERES AND THE SURROUNDING AREA

Take a closer look at the monumental nobility of this ancient World Heritage City, on a walk through the old Jewish quarter and its narrow streets and al leyways. It is well worth spending some time in the current neighbourhood of San Antonio de la Quebrada , a unique, hilly route with truly medieval little cor ners hidden away. The route through the new Jewish quar ter, at the other side of the Plaza Mayor, gives you the chance to visit most of this city following in the footsteps of its Se phardic inhabitants. First you have the beautiful Spanish popular architecture of the chapel of San Antonio , which stands where there used to be a synagogue in the old Jew ish quarter .
