This vertical panel is titled “Torres Cristianas”, and it narrates the history of Cáceres’ truncated towers under the heading “El Desmoche de la Reina Isabel” (The Truncation by Queen Isabella). The sign presents the historical episode when Isabella I of Castile ordered the nobility’s towers in Cáceres to be reduced in height, as punishment for supporting her rival Juana la Beltraneja in the succession conflict after the death of Henry IV. The panel integrates text, portraits, maps, genealogical diagrams, Braille, and illustrations. Upper section: A map of Cáceres indicating Christian towers. Main title “El Desmoche de la Reina Isabel”. Portraits of Juana la Beltraneja and Isabel la Católica flank a dynastic family tree, situating them in relation to Enrique IV, Fernando II, and Juana de Portugal. This genealogical framing highlights the roots of the civil war. Middle section: Multilingual explanations of the tower demolition, in English, Portuguese, German, and French. Each language is marked with a colored circle for easy navigation. A central illustration of a medieval battle scene, reinforcing the military context of the succession war. The narrative highlights both the symbolic punishment of the nobility and the military transformation of the cityscape. Accessibility: A wide Braille band transcribes the content for visually impaired visitors, running horizontally across the panel. Lower section: The text “El perfil imposible de Cáceres” explains the long-term impact of these demolitions on the city’s skyline. Mentions specific cases such as the Palacio de las Cigüeñas, the only tower left intact, thanks to its owner Diego de Ovando’s loyalty to Isabella. Additional drawings and a panoramic photograph of the city link the historical past to the visible present. Bottom band: Decorated in ochre, with heraldic motifs (including the lion of León), tying the narrative to the broader theme of urban heraldry and identity. Linguistic Landscape Notes Multimodal Communication: The panel combines text, genealogical charts, portraits, maps, illustrations, and photography, providing a layered semiotic experience. Multilingualism: As with the first panel, the presence of English, Portuguese, German, French, and Spanish emphasizes Cáceres’ role as a tourist heritage site that communicates with international audiences. Accessibility: Braille transcription reinforces inclusivity, making heritage interpretation available to visually impaired visitors. Historical Identity: The panel ties Cáceres’ physical architecture (its truncated towers) directly to political history and dynastic struggles, presenting the city’s landscape as a living monument to past conflicts. Pedagogical Design: The genealogical chart and portraits serve as visual aids, simplifying complex dynastic history for museum visitors. PALRA
