Plaza de San Vicente

Plaza de San Vicente Review

Lined with orange trees, the narrow, carefully preserved Plaza de San Vicente is at the northwest end of the old medieval quarter. At one end is the 15th-century church of San Vicente Ferrer, with an adjoining convent that's now the Parador Plasencia.

Palacio de Mirabel. The north side of the Plaza de San Vincente is dominated by the Renaissance Palacio de Mirabel, a two-story, 15th-century palace with a neoclassical interior courtyard surrounded by arches. Pass through the central arch for a view of the courtyard. Hours can be sporadic, so knock on the door, and remember to tip the caretaker afterward. Pl. de San Vivente Ferrer s/n, Plasencia, 10600. 927/410701 (try the tourist office if no answer). Daily 10-2 and 4-6.
