At the beginning of the 21st century, Cáceres was a great city with a multitude of services and cultural offerings. This prompted the City Council in 2003 to present the candidacy of Cáceres to the European City of Culture in 2016.51 For the candidacy, the city assisted itself with projects such as Intramuros to Europe and based its candidacy on the links with America and the 500 years of the accession to the throne of Carlos I of Spain, who retired in the last years of his life to the Monastery of Yuste, in the province of Cáceres.
