This image captures a set of three vertical interpretive panels from the Museo de Semana Santa de Cáceres, grouped under the theme “Patrimonio Oculto” (Hidden Heritage). Together, they explore aspects of the city’s subterranean and little-known heritage, blending archaeology, architecture, and local legend.
Left panel – “Las construcciones ocultas” (Hidden Constructions):
Explains the presence of underground structures in Cáceres, such as basements, cisterns, and passageways. Includes a map marking sites beneath the Plaza Mayor and other areas. Photographs and diagrams illustrate how these hidden spaces were integrated into the urban fabric.
A Braille transcription band runs across the middle, ensuring accessibility.
Central panel – “Elementos singulares” (Unique Features):
Focuses on particular underground sites, such as the Mezquita, the Forjados, and the Crypt of San Francisco Javier. Includes detailed architectural diagrams of these spaces, particularly the crypt, showing their structure and use. Photographs complement the descriptions, creating a multimodal resource for visitors.
Multilingual explanations are provided in Spanish, English, Portuguese, German, and French, each marked by a colored circle.
Right panel – “Leyendas e historia” (Legends and History):
Narrates stories and traditions linked to Cáceres’ underground heritage, blending myth and historical memory. Highlights local legends such as La leyenda de San Jorge (St. George), La leyenda del Moro, and others tied to hidden spaces. Includes illustrations and photographs that visually anchor the narratives.
Braille transcription continues, reinforcing the inclusive design.
The panels are consistently presented in five languages (Spanish, English, Portuguese, German, French), with clear colored markers for each, plus Braille transcription. This reflects the museum’s commitment to accessibility and its recognition of Cáceres as a site of international tourism and heritage.
Multimodal Communication: Each panel integrates maps, photographs, architectural diagrams, legends, and textual explanation, creating a layered semiotic resource where history is communicated visually and linguistically.
The focus on “hidden” spaces situates Cáceres’ heritage not only in its visible monuments (towers, palaces, plazas) but also in the invisible or underground layers of the city, linking archaeology with myth.
By combining scientific information (maps, architectural analysis) with oral traditions (legends, myths), the signage presents Cáceres as a city of both material heritage and intangible cultural memory.
This strengthens its identity as a World Heritage city where history is read not only on the surface but also in what lies beneath.
