18TH CENTURY CONVENT
The
Parador conserves the structure of the former 18th c. convent, installed
on the remains of a temple dedicated to the Concordia de Augusto,
and offers the guest the opportunity to experience the rich heritage
of the beautiful town of Mérida and surrounding natural areas.
Some of the most noteworthy spaces are the living room, the inner
patio and the beautiful gardens where the 'Jardín de Antiguedades'
(Garden of Antiquities) is located.
The garden is an archeological ensemble made up of Roman, Mudejar
and Visigothic elements. The numerous gastronomic suggestions offered
by the restaurant include 'criadillas de la Tierra' (truffles), 'caldereta
extremeña' (stew), the assortment of 'gazpachos' (cold soup),
and Almoharín figs.
