Torre de Bujaco

Highly recommend paying the small entrance fee and climbing up the city walls when you visit Torre de Bujaco. There is a small exhibition room as well as access to ancient Roman ruins. This bird’s eye view of of Cáceres is an ideal place to start your visit to this UNESCO world heritage recognized historic town center.

One of the key attractions in a lovely Caceres. You will visit a tower (although there are plenty of them in a town) and a section of the town wall. You will get great views of the central square from the tower

The best spot to take photos, and for Panoramic views of the old city landmarks. For 3 euros, you can visit three towers, and read about history if the city. Unfortunately, all the written descriptions and illustrations are in Spanish which is not very welcoming for international visitors.

As an iconic monument in the centre of Caceres, Bujaco Tower was built in 12th century by the Moors. Standing about 25 metres high, this roughly square tower is located in Plaza Mayor at the entrance to Caceres's Old Town. I am Uploading two photos.

Can look down all around of old town in Caceres.

When we arrived there appeared to be a line of 10 or so (two pairs of 2 and a large family) just inside the gate but it was not at all clear what the line was for (no signage). There was a person at the front of the line giving information to a couple and essentially blocking access to where I assume you can buy tickets. Was she staff? A private guide? Just a friend who knows a bit about the tower? She had nothing to identify her as staff. We waited 10 or so minutes for the line to move or for some acknowledgement from this person but neither happened. Some people in this time had arrived, waited some minutes and left. We decided that maybe we were standing in a line for no reason so we attempted to see if there was a ticket office around the corner but we were stopped by this person and rather rudely told to just wait - no explanation for what we were waiting for or how long. Would we have to wait another 10+ minutes for the next couple to get the same information and then again for the family? Who knows. We left disappointed at not even being able to see the Torre or views. It wasn't the worst experience (hence 2* and not 1), just disappointing and a waste of time. It is nice from the outside and I'm sure nice inside. Please note, we speak and read Spanish so it was not a language barrier, just unorganised and unclear.

Must see in Cáceres! Great views over the city and bonus visit of remainders of Roman foundations.
