    Medellín Castle is one of Extremadura's major historical attractions, perched atop a hill overlooking the Guadiana River and the town of Medellín (Badajoz).
    Origin: A 9th-century Muslim fortress, built upon Roman ruins.
    After the Reconquista, it fell into Christian hands and was renovated in the 13th and 15th centuries.
    It held great strategic importance on the border with Portugal and in the defense of the Guadiana River.
    A key location in the Battle of Medellín (1809) during the Peninsular War.

    Medellín Castle is a 13th century fortress that rises above the town and the Guadiana River. Furthermore, a Roman theater survives in its surroundings, which attests to the importance of this ancient site.

    Castle that is located in the town of Medellin and where it is one of the most recognized icons, not only of the core, but of this area in the north of the province of Badajoz. Spectacular castle with its walls and towers.
