Villar de Plasencia

Roman Past

Villar de Plasencia, a small town with a lot of history to the south of Ambroz-Cáparra, next to Cabezabellosa and Oliva de Plasencia.

Here, history comes alive for hiking and cycling enthusiasts on two historic trails: the Vía de la Plata, an ancient Roman road that evokes the Roman Empire’s glory as it traverses Ambroz-Cáparra from north to south, and the Vía Verde de la Plata (Silve Way Greenway), a former railway line that once carried passengers between Astorga and Plasencia, now converted into a scenic greenway.

We highly recommend that you visit its architectural gems, including the Church of Our Lady of the Assumption, a 16th-century Renaissance treasure, and two Baroque hermitages dedicated to Saint Bartholomew and Saint Anthony of Padua. And don’t forget to stop at the Cruz del Humilladero, a place of devotion that has borne witness to the prayers of the devout over the centuries.

Take advantage of your visit to Ambroz-Cáparra by exploring the Vespasian Way, a road that begins in Villar de Plasencia and leads to the ancient Roman city of Cáparra.
