For lovers of Roman culture and art, Mérida is the perfect city.

It is located atop a hill in the Sierra de Montánchez, also known as the "balcony of Extremadura," at an altitude of approximately 700–900 meters above sea level. Founded on the site of an earlier Roman fortress, its main structure dates back to the Caliphate period of the 9th century (Almohad era). It preserves three underground cisterns built between the 11th and 13th centuries. Captured around 1156–1230, it passed to the Order of Santiago after being granted by Alfonso XI. Walls, a keep, and defensive enclosures were added. 17th century: A hermitage and an interior pond were added. In 1620, it served as a prison for Don Rodrigo Calderón.

Nice gentle climb and one of the longest in Montanchez

About five kilometres to the northwest of the city is this Roman reservoir, in the same place where the famous Battle of Albuera took place. It was in this battle that Isabel la Católica decided the dispute over the throne of Castile between her and Juana “la Beltraneja”.

Fountain in the village church. Works all year round, use responsibly!!

Spectacular located on a hill at the top of the town that has the same name as the castle, Montánchez. It is worth going through its walls, all of which are straight.

One of the jewels of Cáceres, the historic center of Montánchez is a must-see. Located on a fortified hill that dominates the slopes of the Tagus and the Guadiana dominated by the magnificent walled castle. Walking up towards the castle, you will be greeted by traditional narrow streets and medieval squares.

Arroyomolinos is a small town in the Montánchez region, founded around the year 1228 by order of King Alfonso IX on a prehistoric settlement. Stop for a coffee along the way and admire the splendid Church of Nuestra Señora de la Consolación.
