If you pass through Badajoz, you shouldn't miss visiting at least its Puerta de Palmas, its Alcazaba, and its cathedral.

It connects the town of Amoreira to the city of Elvas. With a length of 8.5 kilometres, 843 arches with more than five arcades and towers that rise to 31 metres in height, it is considered the largest aqueduct in the Iberian Peninsula. It has been classified as a National Monument since 1910 and is part of the site called the Border and Garrison Town of Elvas and its Fortifications, classified by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site since 2012.

The Palmas Bridge is the oldest bridge in Badajoz, situated over the Guadiana River. It was built in 1596 during the reign of Philip II, although it was built on a previous bridge dating from 1460. This Herrerian-style bridge is 585 metres long and has 32 arches. Over the centuries, the bridge has undergone several repairs due to flooding of the river. At one end of the bridge is the Puerta de Palmas, one of the main entrances to the city in times past, and at the other end, a hornwork built in the 17th century to protect the bridgehead.

A place full of history, in the recent past it was a Military Prison where many young Portuguese soldiers served prison sentences.

Segovia is not the only city on the peninsula to have a Roman aqueduct. The Amoreia aqueduct is located in the parish of São Brás e São Lourenço, within the municipality of Elvas, district of Portalegre, in Portugal. It was declared a World Heritage Site in 2012. The Amoreira aqueduct is part of the "Border garrison and fortifications of the city of Elvas" complex.
