Monastery of Tentudía
Highlight • Religious Site
The views from the top of Alto de Tentudía are impressive, offering a panoramic view of the region and its landscapes of meadows and mountains typical of the south of Badajoz.
According to legend, in the 13th century during a battle against the Arabs, the master of the Order of Santiago, Pelay Pérez Correa, cried out to the Virgin shouting: "Holy Mary, stop your day" when he saw that night was approaching and the victory was not assured. It is said that the sun stopped on the horizon allowing the Christian troops to win. As thanks, the master ordered the construction of a temple dedicated to Santa María de Tentudía.
At the end of the visit we can go to the bar where we can eat or drink while enjoying the scenery.
