    Luna Castle, also known as Alburquerque Castle, is an impressive medieval fortress located in the town of Alburquerque, in the province of Badajoz, on top of a hill in the Sierra de San Pedro, dominating the town of Alburquerque and offering panoramic views of the Los Baldíos region.
    Built between the 13th and 15th centuries, the castle was expanded and reinforced by Álvaro de Luna, Master of the Order of Santiago and Constable of Castile, hence its name.
    Luna Castle is one of the most outstanding castles in Extremadura and a must-see for lovers of history and medieval architecture.

    According to many, it is one of the most beautiful in Extremadura. The castle dominates a wide area that made it a strategic defense point.
    The ruins that can be visited today date from the 15th century when the old castle passed into the hands of Don Álvaro de Luna, Master of the Order of Santiago.
