The Roman city of Regina Turdulorum is located in the municipality of Casas de Reina, in the province of Badajoz. This archaeological site is one of the most important in Extremadura and was declared a Site of Cultural Interest in 2012.
Regina Turdulorum reached its peak during the Flavian period, in the 1st century AD, when it acquired municipal status. The city was strategically located on the road that connected Augusta Emerita (Mérida) with Hispalis (Seville), which favoured its economic and social development.

It is curious to find this type of ruin in these areas, but here they are almost 2,000 years old and they deserve to be visited. At that time, strategically located at the foot of Cerro Reina and very close to a natural water source, this city was built following the typical guidelines of other Roman cities and which are clearly identifiable: an orthogonal grid, 2 main streets and a perfect network of aqueducts that made them pioneers of those times.
