Unmissable places to visit
The Plaza of San Nicolas is one of the most important tourist sites in the city of Plasencia. Located on the western edge of the old town and close to the medieval bridge of San Lazaro, there are numerous historical buildings and monuments worth visiting here. Within this small square we find the Church of San Nicolás, after which the square gets its name, and the Palace of the Marquis of Mirabel. Two unmissable places to visit in the old area. If you go by the Plaza Mayor you should continue west about 200 meters down the C / de la Rúa Zapatería to find the plaza. If you to it from Plasencia Cathedral, walk down C / de la Blanca for about 150 meters.
Other points of interest around the Plaza de San Nicolas are the Convent of Santo Domingo, the Parador de Plasencia, the House of the Two Towers (Casa de las Dos Torres) also known as the Palacio de Monroy from the 17th century which is one of the city's oldest buildings.
