The Plasencia Aqueduct or the Arches of San Antón is not of Roman origin as many Placentines believe, but rather dates back to the 16th century and was built by the great architect Juan de Flandes. 55 arches are preserved from it and with it the Muslim clay pipe that carried water from the Cabezabellosa and El Torno mountains was replaced. in https://plasenciaturismo.es/acueducto

The Old Cathedral follows a Romanesque plan, despite having been built in the 13th century. Almost all European artistic styles arrived in Extremadura with a considerable delay, since it was the border between the Christian and Muslim kingdoms. Thus, although the Romanesque style arrived in the north of the Peninsula in the 10th and 11th centuries, it was not applied in this area until the 13th century. The main door of the Old Cathedral, the Chapel of San Pablo and the Virgen del Perdón show the transition between Romanesque and Gothic. The New Cathedral has many Gothic and Renaissance elements, such as the choir, the vaults and the Plateresque fronts. The Cathedral Museum exhibits the 16th century Gothic panel of "Wedding at Cana". Masters of the Spanish Baroque such as Gregorio Fernández and the Churriguera brothers also left the important mark of their art on the cathedral's altarpiece. in https://plasenciaturismo.es/que-ver/imprescindibles
