The San Francisco Bridge in Cáceres is a historic structure that has undergone several transformations over the years. Originally built in the 16th century, this medieval bridge is located in the eastern part of the city, on the old road to Trujillo. The bridge was built to level the terrain of a promenade next to the San Francisco convent and was adorned with two rows of black poplars planted in 1752.

This square is legally protected as an Asset of Cultural Interest (BIC) and is within the catalog of protected assets of the Cáceres city council. Its neo-Mudejar architecture and rich history make it an emblematic place for lovers of bullfighting and culture.

In 2011, the redevelopment and remodeling works of the Plaza Mayor were completed, led by architects Antonino Antequera, Francisco Pol Méndez and Asunción Rodríguez Montejano. The project included the creation of several spaces, such as the Summer Plaza, a shady place with trees and fountains; the Winter Square, flanked by a fountain wall and a continuous stone bench; the new Music Forum, in the Balbos Forum, next to the Town Hall, for chamber concerts; and a large central free space for events, whose pavement formally recalls the vernacular Cáceres brick vault, and which has water fountains to combat the summer heat. If you visit Cáceres, you cannot miss exploring this emblematic Plaza Mayor and admiring its rich history and architecture.

It is presided over by the Town Hall built in 1869 by Ignacio María de Michelena. In it you can see such emblematic monuments as the Torre de la Hierba, the Torre de los Púlpitos and especially the Torre de Bujaco next to the Hermitage of Peace.
