This interpretive panel, titled “Cáceres en sus Palacios: Las principales familias cacereñas”, is part of the Museo de Semana Santa de Cáceres exhibition. It focuses on noble lineages and heraldry in Cáceres, using coats of arms as visual markers of family identity and continuity. Upper Section: The title situates the theme: the principal families of Cáceres. The text explains that coats of arms are present on many façades in the historic center, symbolizing the city’s noble past and the families who shaped it. A genealogical and heraldic chart occupies the center, with coats of arms belonging to prominent families such as los Golfines, los Carvajales, los Ovando, los Ulloa, and los Mogollones. Each shield is accompanied by explanatory notes describing the family’s origins, social role, and notable members (for instance, Nicolás de Ovando, governor of the Indies in 1509, or families who received kings and nobles in Cáceres). Middle Section: Multilingual text (Spanish, English, Portuguese, German, and French) offers translations of the main content. Each language is identified by its colored circle with initial (s, e, p, d, f). A Braille transcription band runs across the panel, ensuring that the narrative is accessible to visually impaired visitors. Lower Section: A section titled “Otros escudos” (Other coats of arms) displays photographs of additional heraldic emblems found on buildings across Cáceres. Each photograph is paired with a short explanation, situating these shields within their architectural and historical context. Decorative flourishes reinforce the heraldic theme, visually linking text, symbols, and imagery. PALRA

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. PALRA
