A perfectly preserved medieval city — no shops, no cars, just golden stone palaces and stork-topped towers

Cáceres' Ciudad Monumental, the old walled centre, is one of the best-preserved medieval towns in Spain. The golden stone walls, towers and mansions — built with New World riches by conquistador families — have barely changed since the 16th century. No shops, no cars, no neon: just churches, palaces and the sound of storks nesting on the bell towers. A UNESCO World Heritage Site that doubles as a Game of Thrones filming location.
