Guadalupe, Medieval religious town in Cáceres Province, Spain
The town extends across steep hills at 640 meters elevation, with narrow cobblestone streets leading to the central Plaza de Santa María.
King Alfonso XI commissioned the Royal Monastery of Santa María in 1340 to mark his victory at the Battle of Salado.
The Royal Monastery contains two different architectural styles in its cloisters: Gothic and Mudéjar, along with paintings by Francisco de Zurbarán.
The former hospital of San Juan Bautista now functions as a Parador Hotel, offering accommodations near the UNESCO World Heritage monastery.
The Tres Caños fountain in the main square marks the location where the first Native Americans brought by Columbus received baptism.
