The processions depart and circulate mainly through the Old Part of Cáceres , declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO , except for four (the two of the Brotherhood of the Holy Spirit, the one of the Brotherhood of Esperanza del Vivero and the one of the Brotherhood of the Christ de la Victoria), reaching the last two to the center of the city. One of the processions in the center of the city, that of the Black Christ, circulates entirely through the old part, representing one of the most important moments of Holy Week ."
