Alcazaba of Badajoz

Spain's largest Arab fortress, the Alcazaba of Badajoz commands attention as it rises above the city's Plaza Alta. This imposing 12th-century fort spans a vast 72,500 square meters 780383 (square feet) and was once the abode of the royals of the Taifa Kingdom. Prized for centuries due to its strategic importance, the fort was constructed in keeping with the natural landscape, using the undulating river-carved landscape along the Guadiana River to its advantage. Of the citadel's four gates, the 12th-century Puerta del Capitel is one of the most impressive and best preserved while the Espantaperros Tower watches over the entire fortress from its lofty perch. Within the Alcazaba, the Provincial Archaeological Museum once the palatial Renaissance-era residence of the Counts of Roca, and the restored ramparts offering breathtaking views are worth a visit.

Badajoz Cathedral

The Badajoz Cathedral dates back to the 13th Century and is one of the oldest cathedrals in the city. The cathedral has lovely architecture with bastions and a square tower. With a mixture of Gothic and Baroque style architecture, the Badajoz Cathedral is a good place to visit.

Museo Arqueológico Provincial

Situated within the Islamic Citadel, Museo Arqueológico Provincial houses relics and artifacts of the region that reflect its Moorish heritage. But that's not the only time period covered here. You can find information all the way back from the pre-historic era, to the Romans and the Medieval Christian era, when the city was reclaimed by the Spanish crown.

Rincón Nazarí

Rincón Nazarí offers a one of a kind experience to its patrons, with tea, coffee, alcoholic beverages, hookahs and more, in a very Moorish setting. From fancy cushions, plant arrangements and other furniture which reflects Arab culture, it is a hot favorite among locals and visitors alike.

Puerta de Palmas

Back in medieval times, Badajoz was a fortified city with a massive gate being the major access point. Now, only the gate, known as Puerta de las Palmas, stands strong; an emblematic representation of the city itself. Built sometime in the early 16th century, it is on the top of every traveler's list who passes through Badajoz.

Castelar Park

One of the characteristics of Castelar Park is the Palmera Washingtonia Robusta. Nestled to the southern end of the scenic Guadiana river, Castlelar Park is a popular attraction in Badajoz. A centrally located pond and towering palm plantations are key features of the park. The pond is home to several ducks while peacocks and pigeons visit it often. Cycas revolutias is an ancient plant which dates back to over 300 million years. Today, the park remains a bustling venue for exhibitions, fairs and leisure activities.
