This interpretive panel, titled “Cáceres en sus Palacios: Las Casas Palacio, hoy”, is part of the exhibition inside the Museo de Semana Santa de Cáceres. It focuses on the urban palaces of Cáceres and their survival into the present day, highlighting both their architectural significance and their role in the city’s noble identity.
Upper Section:
The title situates the theme: the palatial houses (“casas palacio”) as they exist today.
A map of the historic center shows the distribution of these palaces within the walled city.
Illustrated connections branch from the map to specific examples, visually linking place, architecture, and lineage.
Individual palaces, such as the Palacio de Carvajal, Palacio de los Golfines, Palacio de Moctezuma, and Palacio de Hernando de Ovando, are identified with images and heraldic shields, situating them within the nobility of Cáceres.
Middle Section:
Textual descriptions provide historical context for each palace, describing their architectural styles, periods of construction, and later adaptations.
The text is presented in five languages (Spanish, English, Portuguese, German, and French), each clearly marked with a colored circle (s, e, p, d, f).
These multilingual explanations expand accessibility for international visitors.
A Braille transcription band runs across the panel, ensuring inclusivity for visually impaired audiences.
Lower Section:
A gallery titled “Otras casas de la hidalguía local” (Other houses of the local nobility) presents a series of smaller photographs of additional noble houses not described in detail above.
Each house is labeled with its name, visually emphasizing the density and variety of noble residences in Cáceres.
Decorative motifs and heraldic imagery frame this section, reinforcing the connection between architecture and lineage.
