The Plaza Alta in the city of Badajoz was its nerve center for a long time, especially when the area of the Alcazaba began to become too small. This square also stands out, in addition to its history, for its excellent architecture, and among all its elements, its arches stand out, which served as shelter for lots of stalls during the markets that were held since the Middle Ages.

Another of the city's monuments and icons, the Red Houses of the Plaza Alta are worthy of admiration. Its exterior decoration and symmetry make it one of the most photographed places in the city.

Beautiful Moorish arches line both sides of Plaza Alta Badajoz. In addition to its history, this square also stands out for its excellent architecture and among all its elements stand out its arches, which served as shelters for many stalls during the markets held since the Middle Ages.
