中世起源の美しい広場。17世紀から18世紀にかけて改修されました。

If you pass through Badajoz, you shouldn't miss visiting at least its Puerta de Palmas, its Alcazaba, and its cathedral.

The Palmas Bridge is the oldest bridge in Badajoz, situated over the Guadiana River. It was built in 1596 during the reign of Philip II, although it was built on a previous bridge dating from 1460. This Herrerian-style bridge is 585 metres long and has 32 arches. Over the centuries, the bridge has undergone several repairs due to flooding of the river. At one end of the bridge is the Puerta de Palmas, one of the main entrances to the city in times past, and at the other end, a hornwork built in the 17th century to protect the bridgehead.

Today with many people taking photos due to the recent rains and how crowded it is. The arch of the old Roman bridge is covered by water, it is wonderful to see it like this.

The church "San Pedro Apostol" was dedicated to Saint Peter (Peter). Simon, nicknamed Peter (Rock), was a fisherman on the Sea of Galilee when he - together with his brother Andrew - was called by Jesus Christ to be "fishers of men". According to Catholic understanding, he is the supreme apostle, and the two millennia-long line of popes - currently Francis - are his successors. In statues and paintings, Peter is almost always depicted with two keys in his hand; this attribute refers to the biblical saying in Matthew: “I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven” (Chapter 16, verse 19). Peter and Paul are also known as the “Princes of the Apostles”; their common feast day in the saints’ calendar is June 29th.
