One of the jewels of Cáceres, the historic center of Montánchez is a must-see. Located on a fortified hill that dominates the slopes of the Tagus and the Guadiana dominated by the magnificent walled castle. Walking up towards the castle, you will be greeted by traditional narrow streets and medieval squares.
