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.

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.

It focuses on the role of public fountains and water sources in the city’s development, emphasizing their importance in supplying water for daily use, agriculture, and livestock until well into the 20th century.
Upper Section:
Title: “Las fuentes históricas” introduces the theme.
A short introduction highlights the role of the Ribera del Marco and the Arroyo de Aguas Vivas, natural watercourses that fed Cáceres’ fountains and washing places.
Historical illustration of a woman carrying a water jug reinforces the everyday function of fountains in local life.
A map pinpoints the locations of several fountains.
Main Content:
Six fountains are described in detail, each with short text and photographs:

Pilares de San Francisco – Large abreuvoirs (watering troughs) used for livestock.
Fuente Fría – Located near the former slaughterhouse.
Fuente del Rey o del Marco – Supplied by a channel of the Ribera, with long-standing use.

TABACOS : Tobacco shop.
EXP. Nº 014 : Concession or license number.
Lotería de Navidad sin recargo (inside poster) : “Christmas lottery without surcharge.”
English (secondary, global branding)
Drink Ice Cold (Coca-Cola sign inside).
Top-down regulation: The Tabacos sign is a state-controlled franchise. In Spain, tobacco shops (estancos) are regulated by the government, and every one has a license number (Exp. Nº ...). The standardized design (yellow text on red background with the tobacco symbol “T”) shows uniformity across the country. This is not just commerce but part of the institutional landscape of the state.
Spanish as the dominant code: Clear, functional, and necessary for locals. Reinforces the national monopoly status of tobacco distribution.
English as a global commercial layer: Coca-Cola’s Drink Ice Cold adds a touch of global advertising discourse inside the shop. While the store’s main identity is highly regulated and national (Spanish state monopoly), interior advertising allows space for global consumer culture.
Visual semiotics: The bold yellow/red color scheme is part of the Spanish state’s brand identity for tobacco shops. It contrasts with the more colorful and playful commercial logos inside (lottery, Coca-Cola, etc.).

Upper Section:
The main heading “El agua en la ciudad” introduces the theme.
A brief introduction explains the importance of the Ribera del Marco, a watercourse running along Cáceres, together with numerous cisterns, aljibes, and wells that supplied water to the population.

A key explains the color-coded map symbols (cisterns/aljibes, chambers/buildings, ruins).
Middle Section:
A Braille transcription band runs horizontally, ensuring accessibility for visually impaired visitors.
Multilingual text (Spanish, English, Portuguese, German, French) appears in blocks, each marked with a colored circle containing its initial (s, e, p, d, f).
Lower Section – “Elementos singulares” (Unique Features):
Highlights particular hydraulic structures that survive in Cáceres:
Thermal baths (located in the Palacio del Mayoralgo), with diagrammatic reconstructions of features such as the palestra, sauna, cold-water pool, and hot rooms.
Molinos (mills) used for grinding grain, with explanatory diagrams.
The Aljibe (cistern), one of the most distinctive monuments of Cáceres, presented as a vaulted underground space built in stone and mortar.
Illustrative diagrams provide cutaway views of these structures, complementing the textual explanations.
