    Cceres (Spanish pronunciation: [kaees]) is the capital of Cceres province, in the autonomous community of

    Extremadura, Spain. As of 2009[6], its population was 91,131 inhabitants. The municipio has a land area of1,750.33 km, and is the second largest in geographical extension in Spain. The walled city is declared a World

    Heritage City.

    History

    There have been settlements near Cceres since prehistoric times. Evidence of this can be found in the caves of

    Maltravieso and El Conejar. The city was founded by the Romans in 25 BC.

    The old town (Ciudad Monumental) still has its ancient walls; this part of town is also well known for its multitude

    of storks' nests. The walls contain a medieval town setting with no outward signs of modernity, which is why many

    films have been shot there. The Universidad de Extremadura, and two astronomical observatories are situated inCceres. The city is also a seat of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Coria-Cceres.

    Cceres, Spain 3

    Cceres was declared a World Heritage City by UNESCO in 1986 [] because of the city's blend of Roman, Moorish,

    Northern Gothic and Italian Renaissance architecture. Thirty towers from the Islamic period still stand in Cceres, of

    which the Torre del Bujaco is the most famous.

    Geography

    The city of Cceres is located in the province of Cceres, in the Extremadura region of western central Spain. Thecity has a continental climate which is tempered by its proximity to the Atlantic Ocean. In winter the average

    temperature does not exceed 10 C (50 F) maximum, reaching 5 C (41 F) minimum, with some frost. In summer

    the average maximum temperature is 31 C (88 F) and the average minimum is 18 C (64 F). Rainfall is abundant

    in the months of October, November, March, April and May, but very intermittent. [7]

    History

    Maltravieso Cave.

    The origins of Cceres go back to prehistoric times, as evidenced by

    the paintings in the Cuevas de Maltravieso (Maltravieso Caves) which

    date back to the late Paleolithic period. Visitors can see remains frommedieval times, the Roman occupation, Moorish occupation and the

    Golden age of Jewish culture in Spain. Cceres has four main areas to

    be explored: the historical quarter, the Jewish quarter, the modern

    center, and the outskirts.

    The first evidence of humans living in Cceres is from the Late

    Paleolithic era, around 25,000 BC. Cceres as a city was founded as

    Castra Caecilia by Quintus Caecilius Metellus Pius and started to gain importance as a strategic city under Roman

    occupation, and remains found in the city suggest that it was a thriving center as early as 25 BC. Some remains of

    the first city walls built by the Romans in the 3rd and 4th centuries still exist, including one gateway, the Arco del

    Cristo.

    La Paz Hermitage.

    After the fall of the Western Roman Empire, the city was occupied by

    the Visigoths, and entered a period of decline until the Arabs

    conquered Cceres in the 8th century. The city spent the next few

    centuries mostly under Arab rule, although power alternated several

    times between Moors and Christians. During this time, the Arabs

    rebuilt the city, including a wall, palaces, and various towers, including

    the Torre de Bujaco. Cceres was reconquered by the Christians in the

    13th century (1229). During this period the city had an important

    Jewish quarter: in the 15th century when the total population was2,000, nearly 140 Jewish families lived in Cceres. The Jewish

    population was expelled by Queen Isabella and Ferdinand of Aragon in

    1492, but many remains of the Jewish presence of the period can still be seen today in the Barrio San Antonio.

    Cceres flourished during the Reconquista and the Discovery of America, as influential Spanish families and nobles

    built homes and small palaces there, and many members of families from Extremadura participated in voyages to

    America where they made their fortunes. In the 19th century, Cceres became the capital of the province, marking a

    period of growth which was halted by the Spanish Civil War. Today, the headquarters of the university as well as

    several regional government departments are to be found in Cceres.

    File:Flag of Israel.svg Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:Flag_of_Israel.svg License: Public Domain Contributors: The Provisional Council of State Proclamation of theFlag of the State of Israel of 25 Tishrei 5709 (28 October 1948) provides the official specification for the design of the Israeli flag. The color of the Magen David and the stripes of the Israeli flagis not precisely specified by the above legislation. The color depicted in the current version of the image is typical of flags used in Israel today, although individual flags can and do vary. The flaglegislation officially specifies dimensions of 220 cm 160 cm. However, the sizes of actual flags vary (although the aspect ratio is usually retained).
