Baluarte de los Pozos defences

Baluarte de los Pozos invites you to consider Cáceres’ defences through their relationship with water supplies. Towers and walls protected more than homes and symbols of authority: securing water was essential to withstand a siege. This sector of Almohad origin belongs to the eastern landscape of the enclosure and connects military history with the sloping ground. Approach using authorised paths and notice how the defensive structures project in relation to the main wall. The interpretation centre and elevated areas have their own admission arrangements, subject to opening and conservation conditions. This is not a continuous, freely accessible walk around every bastion. Afterwards you can continue through the surrounding Jewish quarter and plan your return towards the centre without assuming all paths or viewpoints are open.
