For the Portuguese, Olivenza is Portuguese land, since it was taken by the Spanish during the Napoleonic Wars and should have been returned, but this never happened. Currently, Portugal offers Portuguese nationality to all Olivenza residents who request it and prove they had Portuguese ancestors. Mixed marriages have always existed, and neither the Portuguese nor the Spanish are interested in waging war. This is a lesson for humanity: a disputed territory that unites two brotherly peoples.

What to see in Olivenza Castle and Keep A 13th-century Templar fortress, later expanded by the Portuguese. The Keep is 36-40 meters tall and offers spectacular views of the historic center. Bastioned Walls and Historic Gates The Alconchel Gate and the Calvary Gate are the most emblematic. Walk along the bastions and discover the star-shaped defensive structure. Manueline Churches Santa María del Castillo: altarpiece of the Tree of Jesse and Portuguese tiles. Santa María Magdalena: spectacular Manueline portal and twisted columns inside. Museums González Santana Ethnographic Museum of Extremadura: local history and traditions. Papercraft Museum: original and intriguing, ideal for a quick visit. Historic Center Cobblestone streets, squares such as Plaza de España and Plaza de la Constitución, and buildings adorned with Portuguese tiles.

Olivenza is a historical and cultural gem in the province of Badajoz, with a unique blend of Spanish and Portuguese influences. Olivenza was Portuguese for over 500 years (1297-1801) and still preserves bilingual inscriptions and Portuguese architecture. Portugal continues to symbolically claim sovereignty, even though the town is fully integrated into Spain.

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...

Despite the disagreement between Portugal and Spain over the Olivença Question, the issue has not caused friction in relations between the two Iberian countries. Olivença and the Spanish border municipalities of La Codosera, Alburquerque and Badajoz, and the Portuguese municipalities of Arronches, Campo Maior, Estremoz, Portalegre and Elvas, reached an agreement in 2008 with a view to creating a Euroregion. The Treaty of Alcanizes of 1297 established Olivença as part of Portugal. In 1801, through the Treaty of Badajoz, denounced in 1808 by Portugal, the territory was annexed to Spain. In 1817, Spain recognized Portuguese sovereignty by subscribing to the Congress of Vienna of 1815, committing to the return of the territory as soon as possible. However, to this day, this has not yet happened. Therefore, the boundary markers between the confluence of the Caia River with the Guadiana River and the confluence of the Cuncos River with the Guadiana River, numbered 802 to 89, have yet to be placed.
