Cáceres, Spain has changed over the years with new areas, schools, and monuments built. It has a rich history dating back to the Paleolithic period and its old city is one of the best preserved in Europe. In 1986, Cáceres was appointed a World Heritage site by UNESCO. Cáceres 2016 refers to the city's bid to become the European Capital of Culture in 2016, which the author supports as it will showcase the city's history, culture, and people to Europe. The author believes students from Cáceres will benefit from job opportunities if the city is selected.
