Centro & Zocodover
From Zocodover the Cuesta del Alcázar (Fortress Hill) leads up to the Alcázar itself, the military citadel built by Alfonso VI after the Reconquest. It now houses the Military Museum and the regional library and, in spite of its somber and imposing appearance, the building's magnificence is undeniable. From Zocodover, you can reach the Museum of Santa Cruz and the Tuesday market, by crossing through the Arco de la Sangre (Arch of Blood). From here you also have an impressive view out over the Tagus (Tajo) River. Calle Comercio also leads to the Cathedral, after crossing the narrow but lively Hombre de Palo Street, which is also full of shops and restaurants that are quite popular with tourists and locals alike. The street ends at an intersection that leads to different areas of interest. Off to the left are places such as Palacio Arzobispal (the Archbishop's Palace) and the cathedral walls, which rise up in front of the palace; these Gothic walls support one of the most important cathedrals not only in Spain, but in all of Europe, due to its architectonic majesty. Both of these sights are found in the Plaza del Ayuntamiento (Town Hall Square), where you can also see the Renaissance style Casa Consistorial (Town Hall) itself.Nightlife
