The Diocese of Plasencia, established in the 12th century, is the ecclesiastical jurisdiction for the area. While the diocesan offices are functional, the primary visitor attraction is the cathedral complex comprising the New and Old Cathedrals. These adjacent structures offer a fascinating contrast between Gothic and Renaissance styles. Visitors can explore both cathedrals, the museum, and the cloister, gaining insight into the region's religious heritage.
