Within an impressive 18th-century mansion, the Museo Pérez Comendador-Leroux houses works by Hervás-born, 20th-century sculptor Enrique Pérez Comendador and his wife, the French painter Magdalena Leroux. Among 650 pieces on display are Leroux's colourful Rome-focused watercolours, plus sculptures of Leroux and a series of extremeño conquistadors by Comendador and early versions of his statue of San Pedro de Alcántara displayed at Concatedral de Santa María in Cáceres.
