Balcony of Extremadura

Highlight • Viewpoint

Balcony, which is located in the town of Lobón and from where you can see the view of the Guadiana River. Nice place to be quiet and enjoy the views!

Puerta de Palmas

Highlight • Monument

It is perhaps the most representative monument of the city. It consists of a door facing the Puente de Palmas, flanked by two solid cylindrical towers crowned with battlements, and surrounded at the top and at the base by decorative cords.

Puente de Palmas

Highlight • Bridge

Built on another previous one dated in 1460, and destroyed by a strong flood of the river in 1545, the current bridge was completed in 1596, being the King of Spain Felipe II, and Governor of Badajoz D. Diego Hurtado de Mendoza. Until the one built in the 15th century, the city lacked a bridge, making the crossing of the river by boat, or taking advantage of the fords in practicable time. The one erected at the end of the 16th century is basically the same one that has survived to this day, being a work of Herrerian character, solidly made of stone.

Plaza Alta

Highlight • Historical Site

The Plaza Alta in the city of Badajoz was its nerve center for a long time, especially when the area of the Alcazaba began to become too small. This square also stands out, in addition to its history, for its excellent architecture, and among all its elements, its arches stand out, which served as shelter for lots of stalls during the markets that were held since the Middle Ages.
