Located in the highest part of Badajoz, it was originally built in the year 875 by the hand of Abd-al-Ramman Ibn Marwan "El Yilliqui" and being modified and completed by the different governments that succeeded in the city. Its current configuration is basically the product of the largest reform carried out and that it underwent in the 12th century at the hands of the Almohads, although its greatest period of splendor was in the 11th century during the Aftasid Dynasty.

One of the places of interest that you cannot miss if you are in Badajoz. Located in the Parque de la Alcazaba, the existing ruins are from the old Muslim fortification, a late-medieval Christian castle that was the center of the old citadel.
