Alphabetic language
AT : Spanish institutional code, short for Apartamentos Turísticos (Tourist Apartments). This is a regulated accommodation category in Spain, marked with the official blue sign and key symbols.
Pictorial / symbolic language
Two key icons below the “AT” : non-verbal semiotic code. Keys = hospitality, lodging, tourism. The number of keys sometimes represents quality classification (similar to hotel stars).
Non-linguistic cultural signage
Traditional ceramic tiles with geometric and floral patterns : heritage aesthetics. These tiles are not “words,” but they communicate cultural identity. They anchor the modern tourism signage in the historic urban environment.

This image shows the two interpretive panels of the “Cáceres en sus Palacios” section in the Museo de Semana Santa de Cáceres. Together, they narrate the story of the city’s noble palaces and heraldic traditions, situating architecture and lineage at the heart of Cáceres’ identity.
Left Panel – “Las Casas Palacio, hoy” (The Palatial Houses Today):
Explores the survival of noble palaces in Cáceres and their integration into the modern city.
A map of the historic center connects to illustrated branches leading to specific palaces, such as the Palacio de Carvajal, Palacio de los Golfines, Palacio de Moctezuma, and Palacio de Hernando de Ovando.
Each palace is accompanied by an image, short historical description, and heraldic reference.
A section at the bottom, “Otras casas de la hidalguía local”, shows a gallery of smaller noble houses, emphasizing the abundance of aristocratic architecture in Cáceres.
Right Panel – “Las principales familias cacereñas” (The Principal Families of Cáceres):
Focuses on heraldry as a symbol of lineage and identity.
A central heraldic chart displays the coats of arms of prominent families such as the Carvajales, Ovandos, Golfines, Ulloa, Mogollones, and others.
Explanatory notes situate these families in local and global history (e.g., Nicolás de Ovando, governor of the Indies in 1509).
The lower section, “Otros escudos”, includes photographs of additional coats of arms found on façades across the city, turning the streetscape into an archive of noble identity.
Accessibility and Multilingualism:
Both panels provide texts in Spanish, English, Portuguese, German, and French, marked with colored initials (s, e, p, d, f).
A wide Braille transcription band ensures accessibility for visually impaired visitors, making inclusivity a central design principle.

Spanish (dominant, functional & regulatory)
Alarma con aviso a Policía : “Alarm with police notice.”
Zona video vigilada : “Video surveillance area.”
Alarma conectada 24 h : “Alarm connected 24h.”
Plaza Mayor 35 Apartamentos : “Plaza Mayor 35 Apartments.”
Global design influence, the apartment logo (Plaza Mayor 35) adopts international branding aesthetics, even though the language is Spanish.
Non-linguistic signage: Blue plate symbol of knife and fork : universal icon for food services (transcends language).
Spanish dominance (functional and regulatory):
Most signs are in Spanish, reflecting the local community and legal requirements (alarms, surveillance, police-linked systems).
These are top-down institutional signs, ensuring safety and compliance.
Commercial branding:
Plaza Mayor 35 Apartamentos uses modern typography and minimalist design, signaling a shift to tourist-oriented accommodation. Even though the text is in Spanish, the design targets an international audience, mirroring global boutique apartment branding.
Tourist semiotics:
The knife and fork pictogram is a non-verbal universal code pointing to food services. This allows communication without language, accommodating international visitors in a heritage-rich plaza.
Cultural layer:
The colorful ceramic tiles below are non-verbal but play an important role in the semiotic landscape. They reinforce Spanish identity and local heritage aesthetics, contrasting with the modern, minimalist signs above.

This image shows two interpretive panels from the Museo de Semana Santa de Cáceres, under the thematic section “La hidráulica en la ciudad histórica”. These panels focus on water management and hydraulic heritage, presenting fountains, cisterns, baths, and mills as essential elements of Cáceres’ urban history.
Left Panel – “Las fuentes históricas” (The Historic Fountains):
Explains the role of fountains in supplying water to the population.
A map locates several key fountains in the historic center, such as the Fuente Rocha de Cordero, Fuente Concejo, Fuente Nueva, and Fuente de San Francisco.
Each fountain is described with historical notes (e.g., construction periods, uses, or restorations).
Illustrations and photographs provide visual references.
At the bottom, a section titled “Otras fuentes y charcas de la ciudad” (Other fountains and ponds of the city) expands the scope, listing additional water points such as Fuente del Rey, Fuente del Marco, and Charca de la Maltraviesa.
A Braille transcription band runs across the panel, providing accessibility.
Right Panel – “El agua en la ciudad” (Water in the City):
Introduces the importance of water management in Cáceres, describing how natural springs and constructed systems shaped urban life from antiquity to modernity.
A map highlights the distribution of water-related infrastructures, such as cisterns, aqueducts, and mills.
A section titled “Elementos singulares” (Unique Features) details specific water-related constructions:
Thermal baths located in the Palacio del Mayoralgo.
Molinos (mills) as part of agricultural and industrial production.
The Aljibe (cistern), one of Cáceres’ most distinctive hydraulic monuments, with a diagram showing its structure.
As with the left panel, multilingual translations and Braille transcription ensure accessibility.
