The Town Hall of Cáceres and Unicaja have renewed the collaboration agreement that allows people to access the Roman remains located under the outer patio of Palacio de Mayoralgo, which is owned by the financial institution.

 

The renewal was signed by the mayor, Rafa Mateos, and the regional manager of Unicaja in Extremadura, Julio Morales, with the aim of promoting access to culture and heritage for the citizens of Cáceres and its visitors.

 

This renewal is valid for two years and can be extended; during this period, visits to the archaeological remains of the Mayoralgo Palace will be allowed through the wall that is part of the monumental complex of Bujaco.

 

The mayor, Rafa Mateos, has positively valued this agreement, which will allow the citizens of Cáceres and tourists to continue visiting this important Roman site, thus completing the visits to the Bujaco area.

 

For his part, Julio Morales, highlighted the commitment and the roots that Unicaja maintains in Extremadura and the importance of continuing to value this important trace of the history of Cáceres, with the collaboration of the Town Hall.

 

Thanks to this agreement, Unicaja also allows the opening of the site to the public during the hours of celebration of the Heritage Night.

The visit to the Roman archaeological remains of Palacio de Mayoralgo Palace is supervised at all times by technicians from the Tourism Department of the Town Hall. Visiting hours are from 16.30 to 19.30 p.m. from Monday to Friday; and from 10.00 to 14.00 and from 16.30 to 19.30 on weekends.

Traces of history
