21.Mar. 22 (Thurs) Journey - Caseres - Badajos - Exploring Roman Ruins and the Silver Route

    After driving for about an hour from Merida, a white village appears on top of the mountain.
   It is Cáceres, which once prospered as the center of the 'Silver Road.' The old town, surrounded by walls, shows the noble castles, towering towers, and family crests engraved on the walls, still retaining a medieval appearance. In fact, the entire old town was registered as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1986.

  Behind the white buildings, the Cáceres fortress can be seen. The area within the walls is the old town.

The cathedral in Santa Maria Square recaptured the city from Muslims. Hu The first church built within this wall

Golfinés Mansion, a noble castle built around 1530 next to Santa Maria Church. It is the largest within the old town and shows both Gothic and Islamic styles. It is said that the Catholic monarchs (Isabel and Hernandez) stayed in this mansion when they visited Cáceres twice.

The church building is in the Late Gothic style; the interior is dark, but the elegant carvings and doors are worth seeing.

                                    It is a mansion with a 11th-century reservoir still remaining, and it is now a museum.

Badajos 

Driving about an hour west from Cáceres, we reach a city called Badajos near the Portugal border. Starting tomorrow, I will be traveling in Portugal for a week. Today is my female student's birthday. Tonight, we decided to go to a restaurant with a good atmosphere.

                                                                A restaurant recommended by the hotel manager

When toasting with wine, the restaurant staff thought it was my wife's birthday and brought a celebratory cake, which moved us.

                                                'Honey! Stay healthy,' I said to my wife, giving her a blessing.

                                                    The night view of the gate in front of the Roman church is beautiful.

                                                         You can see the old town of Badahos and the cathedral.

                                                                   The square in front of the cathedral

                                                                            Climb up the city wall.

                                                                  A bird is building a nest on the pointed building.

                                                                       The church gate in Rome seen during the day

We left Bada Hose for Porto Cal Evora around 10:30.

(21) 3/22일(목) 여정 -Caseres-Badajos-로마 유적과 銀의 길을 가다
 
Merida에서 한 시간 정도 달려오니 산 위에 하얀 마을이 나온다.
옛날에는 '은의 길'의 중심지로 번영을 누렸던 카세레스다.성벽으로
둘러싸인 구시가 곳곳에 보이는 귀족의 성곽, 우뚝 솟은 탑과 성벽에
세겨진 가문의 문장은 지금도 중세의 모습을 간직하고 있어, 1986년에
구시가 전체가 유네스코 문화유산으로 등록되었을 정도이다.
하얀 건물 뒤로 카세레스 성채가 보인다. 성곽 안이 구시가지이다.


바다호스(Badajos)


카세레스에서 한 시간 정도 서쪽으로 달려가니 폴투칼 국경에 바다호스라는
 도시가 나온다. 내일 부터는 일주일간 폴투칼여행을 한다. 오늘은 내 여학생
의 생일이다. 오늘 밤 분위기 있는 식당을 가기로 하였다.


바다호스에서 10시 30분 쯤 폴투칼 에보라로 떠났다.
