Located in the Badajoz town of Nogales, this medieval fortress built in the 15th century sits on a small hill and its character is purely defensive. For this reason, its most outstanding element is the keep surrounded by a wall, since it was of great importance during the clashes with the French and the Portuguese.

The fortress has a 35-metre-high keep and a perimeter wall with cylindrical towers at the corners. Originally, the castle had a drawbridge that allowed access through a moat, although this no longer exists.
The castle was restored by the Junta de Extremadura at the end of the 20th century, preserving its structure and historical elements.

Built in the 15th century on a strategic site, the castle of Nogales dominates the region, being able to see land even several kilometers away. It is a site that can be visited, the medieval fortress is one of the best preserved. Very close to here is the Church of San Cristóbal, another site of interest to visit.
