This Parador conserves the structure of the former 18th century convent, installed on the remains of a temple dedicated to the Concordia de Augusto, and offers the guest to discover the rich heritage of the very beautiful town of Merida.

Roman, Mudejar, and Visigothic elements adorn the interior while characterized by an intimate, welcoming atmosphere. The living room in the former chapel of the convent, the inner courtyard, and the beautiful Mozarabic gardens are some of its most noteworthy spaces.

The numerous gastronomic suggestions offered by the restaurant are exquisite. Try the "criadillas de la Tierra" (truffles), "caldereta extremena" (stew), the assortment of "gazpachos" (cold soups), and Almoharin figs.

Visiting the Roman Theatre and the Amphitheatre of Merida is mandatory. Still inside the city, the National Museum of Roman Art displays many attractions. You may also visit the villages of Alange, Dolmen de Lacara, Medellin and Trujillo not forgetting the cities of Caceres and Badajoz. The dams of Cornalvo and Proserpina are also worth to see.
