During the War of the Communities of Castile, Caceres joined the rebel ranks. On 15 April 1522, the monarch granted amnesty to the city, with the exception of the most committed community members.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Pérez |first1=Joseph |title=La revolución de las comunidades de Castilla (1520-1521) |date=1977 |publisher=Siglo XXI de España Editores |isbn=9788432302855}}</ref>

In 1653 the town of Cáceres, along with five other towns in the current autonomous community, acquired a joint vote in the [[Cortes Generales|Cortes of Castile]], giving rise to the purchase of the vote to the province of Extremadura, which in 1822 would be divided into those of Cáceres and Badajoz. Cáceres was represented in the Cortes of Madrid from 1660 to 1664 as part of said joint vote.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Martínez Díez |first1=Gonzalo |title="Extremadura: origen del nombre y formación de las dos provincias" |journal=Anuario de la Facultad de Derecho (2) |date=1983 |volume=59-119 |issn=0213-988X|pages=82–93}}</ref>

Until the 18th century, Cáceres was just another town among the many in Extremadura. In the [[Cadastre]] of Ensenada, carried out in Cáceres in 1753, it is indicated that only 1,698 families lived in the town itself. However, during the second half of the 18th century, the town began to grow, motivated by the arrival of both temporary and permanent foreign settlers, whose presence gave rise to the formation of a local [[bourgeoisie]] that until then did not exist due to the rural nature of the population. Starting in the mid-18th century, ranchers from the center of the peninsula, many of them from the Sierra de Cameros, began to settle in Extremadura, fleeing the crisis suffered by [[transhumance]]. Prominent textile merchants from Cameros and [[Catalonia]] also settled here.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Hernández Bermejo |first1=M.A. |last2=Santillana Pérez |first2=M. |title=Ámbitos familiares y espacios de vida cotidiana de los cacereños que vinieron de lejos (ss.
