Cáparra was once a walled city with suburbs, but it was not a very important ancient city. Not much of the city remains, except for some ruins and an arch. The site is fortunately free to visit and there are signs in English.

Hervás has magnificent architectural heritage such as the Davila Palace, a parish church, the monastery of the Trinitarian Fathers, etc. The largest collection of classic motorcycles in Europe!
