The monumental area of Caceres city offers a unique framework to plan accessible circuits not only for disabled, but also for blind, deaf or partially sighted people. Together with the cultural and tourist attraction, which led Caceres to be recognized as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, some other challenges linking to the steep layout and irregular ground should be taken into account. In this context, some necessary actions are recommended and so, a bigger amount of visitors will be allowed to go all over exclusive destinations, even those for whom the access is limited now. This improvement is beneficial for most of the inhabitants, thanks to the guide Design for All: essential for some, useful for all.
