Olivenza is one of the Extremaduran towns closest to the border with Portugal and has been the main scene of important battles. The old town with white houses is beautiful, next to the castle in the same town and its church, the parish of Santa María del Castillo.

Olivença was Portuguese territory until 1801, when it was captured by the Spanish. It should have been returned to Portugal, but that never happened... Fortunately, this is an example that an open border between two countries doesn't always lead to war. For the Portuguese, Olivença remains Portuguese. This is an example for humanity... on both sides live people who only want to raise their children in peace and prosperity...
