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

Juromenha, defended to the north by the Mures stream and to the east by the Guadiana River, is situated in a fertile area rich in minerals and is a suitable location for crossing the Guadiana. Occupation in the region has been constant since prehistory and was not interrupted by the process of Arabization and Islamization. From this period, the castle is preserved, partially covered by fortified military constructions. Source: [https://islamicart.museumwnf.org/database_item.php?id=monument;ISL;pt;Mon01;23;pt&cp]

Beautiful place

Estremoz is a Portuguese city located in the district of Évora, in Alto Alentejo, known as the "marble capital" of Portugal. It is divided into two parts: a medieval upper town, enclosed by walls, with old white houses and an imposing castle (the Castle of Queen Santa Isabel, which houses a Pousada), and a lower town with eighteenth-century fortifications. Estremoz is famous for its white marble quarries, which have made Portugal a major world exporter, and for its traditional terracotta crafts, especially the "puppets" (Bonecos de Estremoz), a UNESCO Intangible Heritage. The city hosts a lively weekly farmers' market.

Queen Saint Isabel of Aragon (1270-1336), wife of King D. Diniz (1261-1325), died in the Castle of Estremoz, at the age of 66, on July 4, 1336, from a sudden illness that occurred while she was heading to the border on a mission to bring peace between her son, D. Afonso IV (1291-1357), and her grandson, Alfonso XI of Castile (1311-1350). Against everyone's advice, D. Afonso wanted to fulfill his mother's purpose of being buried in the Monastery of Santa Clara. The long journey took place under the blazing July sun and, to everyone's amazement, despite the intense heat, the coffin gave off such a pleasant perfume that "no one had ever seen such a noble odour", as can be read in her first anonymous biography, known as “Legend or Relation”, written immediately after her death by someone who had been close to her, probably her confessor, Friar Salvado Martins, Bishop of Lamego, or one of the owners of Santa Clara who looked after her during her widowhood. The virtues of the Queen, later considered a Saint, were the reason for her beatification by Leo X (1475-1521) in 1516, with authorisation for her worship to be restricted to the Diocese of Coimbra. In 1556, Pope Paul IV (1476-1559) extended the Elizabethan devotion to the entire Kingdom of Portugal. It would be Pope Urban VIII (1568-1664), given the incorruption of the body and the report of miracles, who would proclaim in 1625, the canonization of Isabella of Aragon as a Holy Queen.

The Estremoz Castle was built in a dominant position on a hill to the north of the Serra de Ossa, in the city of Estremoz, in the district of Évora, in Alentejo, Portugal. It is a pentagonal castle with a walled enclosure, reinforced by buttresses that rise around the Torre de Menagem, a spectacular tower built in white marble, 27 metres high. It is believed that the construction of this monumental tower lasted through three reigns: D. Afonso IV, D. Pedro and D. Fernando, and, for this reason, it is known as the Torre das Três Coroas. Beyond the medieval wall, the town of Estremoz has a vast expanse of fortifications from the epic Restoration War, where the towers with battlements and two arched gates stand out, next to which there is a rectangular tower in the Roman-Gothic style, with several windows.

Estremoz Castle was raised in a dominant position over a hill, up North to the Sierra de Ossa, in the city of Estremoz, inside the district of Évora, in Alentejo, Portugal. It is a castle with a pentagonal floor, with a walled enclosure reinforced with buttress which raises around the Torre de Menagem Keep, an spectacular tower made in white marble and 27 metres height. It is believed that the works for this monumental tower occurred during the reigns D. Alfonso IV, D. Pedro and D. Fernando. That is why it is known as Torres das Três Coroas (The Tower of the Three Crowns). Besides the Medieval fence, the city of Estremoz counts with a vast fortified area from the epic Guerra da Restaruação (Restoration War), where you can distinguish the battlemented towers and two arch doors, and a rectangular tower with Roman-Gothic style with several windows.
