The castle of Puebla de Alcocer is an imposing castle built during the 12th and 13th centuries, remodeled in the 15th century by Don Gutierre de Sotomayor, Master of the Order of Alcántara, thanks to the granting of a license from the King of Castile, Juan II.

It is located on an elongated rocky mass, at the highest point of Puebla de Alcocer, from where the movements of the adversaries were monitored for kilometers around. Today the regions of La Serena and La Siberia are contemplated and the fortification can be seen from several points.
