384 ES - Old Town of Cáceres (1986)

Brief Description

"The city's history of battles between Moors and Christians is reflected in its architecture, which is a blend of Roman, Islamic, Northern Gothic and Italian Renaissance styles. Of the 30 or so towers from the Muslim period, the Torre del Bujaco is the most famous."

卡塞雷斯古城

"卡塞雷斯城历史上摩尔人和基督徒的争斗也反映在了该城的建筑中,罗马式、伊斯兰式、北哥特式和意大利文艺复兴式的建筑风格在这里和谐地融为一体。城中现存有大约30座穆斯林时期建造的高塔建筑,其中布哈科塔最为著名。"
