Coria Castle is an imposing medieval fortress located in the upper part of Coria's historic center, very close to the Cathedral, and is one of the city's most prominent landmarks. It is integrated into the walled enclosure, forming part of the defensive complex of Roman origin. Main construction: between 1473 and 1478, commissioned by García Álvarez de Toledo, Marquis of Coria and Duke of Alba.

I don't know whose idea it was to restore the northwest tower so badly, a crime in plain sight... Today they are working on the "restoration" of the barbican. Alfonso II, in 877, failed to conquer the fortress of Portezuelo. In the month of July 997, when Almanzor crossed the Alconeter bridge and through Coria and the castle of Portezuelo he reached Santiago of Compostela. Conquered by Ferdinand II of León in 1166 and lost in 96. In 1219 Diego Sánchez, master of Alcántara, took it again: “he left Çamora with a large army against the Moors who still had much of Estremadura belonging to their conquest and the master with his knights and vassals joined the king in the city of Coria. From there the army left together and laid siege to a castle. called Portillo, which were a Sierra not far from Ceclavin. They beat him for combat and captured more than two hundred Moors in it." According to sources, the castle had an Arab and Christian population until 1386.

Located outside the city of Coria, in the natural area of the ancient Dehesa de Malpartida, the sanctuary is close to the edge of the cliff formed by the Alagón River. According to the Coria Charter from the 13th century, it stands in the same place where a small medieval chapel probably existed. Part of the remains of the extensions carried out in the 16th century are still preserved. These extensions were carried out to house the venerated Romanesque-Gothic Marian carving, possibly made in Leonese workshops. The image of the Virgin rests in her dressing room (added in 1880) and is framed by a beautiful Rococo altarpiece from 1774. A visit to this sanctuary will allow you to appreciate its uniqueness, beauty and devotion to the Patroness of Coria! 🙏🌟

Views of the Alagón River near the Los Canchos De Ramiro viewpoint, Special Area of Conservation (SAC) located in the Spanish province of Cáceres. Los Canchos de Ramiro are, on their own merits, the heart of this SPA. These are two enormous quartzite cliffs that abruptly enter the Alagón River on both banks, narrowing the channel. These rocks are the nesting habitat of emblematic species such as the griffon vulture, Egyptian vulture, black stork, Bonelli's eagle, peregrine falcon and golden eagle.

The Iron Bridge in Coria is a beautiful civil work of metal architecture and nineteenth-century modernist design. It was built by the Asturian engineers D. Salvador and D. Próspero Ardura. The bridge stands over the Alagón River, connecting both banks in the City of Coria. Its total length is 178.30 meters, and its deck has a width of 7.78 meters, with a two-way road flanked by two sidewalks.

Founded before the Romans occupied the Iberian Peninsula, Coria was known as Cauria or Caurus. The Romans gave it its current Latin name, CAVRIUM. Later, he was granted Roman citizenship. In the Visigothic era, the Diocese of Coria was created, which maintained Coria as an episcopal see until the 20th century. After the Reconquista, Coria became the capital of a manor to which towns that still bear the name of Coria belonged, such as Guijo de Coria or Casillas de Coria.

Portezuelo Castle, also known as Marmionda Castle, is an ancient fortress located in the municipality of Portezuelo, in the province of Cáceres. The construction of the castle dates back to the 12th century. During this time, the Almohads invaded al-Andalus (1147), putting an end to the Almoravid empire. In 1167, the Christian king of León, Ferdinand II, conquered the castle and gave it to the Knights Templar. However, in 1196, the Almohads recovered it. Finally, in 1213, Alfonso IX of León definitively reconquered it and handed it over to the Order of San Julián del Pereiro, later known as the Order of Alcántara. Throughout its history, the castle underwent various renovations, the 16th century being the last of some importance. Unfortunately, it was abandoned in the second half of the 17th century.
