Description:
14TH CENTURY PALACE The former Torreorgaz Palace, built on Arabic foundations,
has a door with a lintel and a Baroque coat of arms, is located in the heart of
the historical and artistic quarter of Cáceres, a town declared a World Heritage
Site. Founded by Diego García de Ulloa, knight of the Order of Santiago, the
Parador, a 14th c. construction, is presided over by its slender tower. The
styles personalized in the building and its monumental surroundings, are Gothic,
Renaissance and baroque. The inner courtyard and cobblestone, frames, beams
covered with wood and the original mantelpiece in the living room make up the
interior decoration. In this context the soft cream shades of the bedrooms are
defined by good taste, spaciousness and comfort. Iberian sirloin steak with
Casar cheese and roast kid with rosemary are representative of the varied
cuisine of Extremadura. The hotel also has a wine-cellar featuring more than 300
varieties of Spanish wine.
