Coria, la Cauria vetona

Village · Coria, Valle del Alagón, Cáceres

12,001 inhabitants (INE 2025), the fourth most populous municipality in the province of Cáceres, at 264 m in altitude, with a municipal area of 103.46 km². It began as a Vettone settlement called Cauria; the Romans turned it into the municipium of Caurium after it received the ius Latii from Vespasian in the year 74. Its diocese dates back to Visigothic times; in 1957, following the 1953 Concordat, the Holy See split its see, giving rise to the present-day diocese of Coria-Cáceres.
