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

I have done all three. Thanks, colleagues.

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.

The Plaza Alta of the city of Badajoz was the nerve centre of the city 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 many stalls during the markets that were held since the Middle Ages.

While you're here, you should definitely take a look at the two towers.
