The Herrera del Duque Castle, located in the province of Badajoz (Extremadura), is an impressive 15th-century fortress that dominates the landscape of the La Siberia region from the top of the Sierra Chamorro.
It is said that wailing sounds can be heard at night from the "Tower of Sighs," and there are legends about a hidden treasure protected by a curse.

Hiking

Castle from the Almohad period, devoid of walls or decoration and built on an octagonal plan on a high rock to the south of the town, on a hill that is difficult to access. This castle does not have a keep, nor does it have cubes or external defenses, perhaps as a result of its reconstruction during the Christian era, which only maintained the wall, ignoring any other defensive element beyond the rugged terrain on which it stands.

Situated in a defensive Sierra Chamorro at 745 masl, the 15th century Castillo de Herrera del Duque dominates the town below. Incredible views especially near sunset.
