The Parador de Zafra is located in what was once the palace of the Dukes of Feria. The building clearly reflects its long and rich history, which includes the Extremaduran explorer Hernán Cortés, a distinguished guest of the palace. The Parador preserves beautiful coffered ceilings, chests, ironwork, handrails, and decorative elements from the former palace.

A visit is not possible because it is a hotel. The patio/inner courtyard, which is worth seeing, can be visited. And if you want to spend more time here, you can take a break in the café.

Perched on top of a hill overlooking the city, Feria's medieval castle is famous for its massive keep. A defensive castle dominates the landscape below.

The tower of the convent of San Francisco is the only remains of what was the Franciscan convent of San Benito. It was located outside the city of Zafra, although it is currently within the urban area. The convent was founded and built in the last third of the 15th century by the second Count of Feria, Gomes II Suárez de Figueroa, and by his mother, Countess María Manuel. Starting in 1565, the cloister and bedrooms were enlarged with the aim of housing a greater number of religious.

Beautiful church in the middle of the town of Calzadilla de los Barros where one of the most curious features is the shape of the bell tower, unusual in these churches but still very beautiful.
