Inaugurated on December 23, 1994, the Puente Real is the fourth bridge over the Guadiana River as it passes through the city of Badajoz. A modern bridge, with bike lanes, that connects the Valdepasillas area with the Avenida de Elvas that leads to Portugal.

Puerta de Palmas

Highlight • Monument

It is perhaps the most representative monument of the city. It consists of a door facing the Puente de Palmas, flanked by two solid cylindrical towers crowned with battlements, and surrounded at the top and at the base by decorative cords.

Puente de Palmas

Highlight • Bridge

Built on another previous one dated in 1460, and destroyed by a strong flood of the river in 1545, the current bridge was completed in 1596, being the King of Spain Felipe II, and Governor of Badajoz D. Diego Hurtado de Mendoza. Until the one built in the 15th century, the city lacked a bridge, making the crossing of the river by boat, or taking advantage of the fords in practicable time. The one erected at the end of the 16th century is basically the same one that has survived to this day, being a work of Herrerian character, solidly made of stone.

Alcazaba of Badajoz

Highlight • Castle

Located in the highest part of Badajoz, it was originally built in the year 875 by the hand of Abd-al-Ramman Ibn Marwan "El Yilliqui" and being modified and completed by the different governments that succeeded in the city. Its current configuration is basically the product of the largest reform carried out and that it underwent in the 12th century at the hands of the Almohads, although its greatest period of splendor was in the 11th century during the Aftasid Dynasty.
