The most picturesque streets and porches are located at the foot of the Alcazaba, around the square Plaza de San José, and Plaza Alta. This last one is made of fifteenth-century porches. Another square, Plaza de España, houses the City Hall and the cathedral of Badajoz.
The Romanesque-Gothic temple, which resembles a fortress, preserves interesting Renaissance ornamental pieces. So, it is worthwhile to stop and admire the bas-relieves in the stalls of the choir, and in the Flemish tapestries that decorate the sacristy. In the interior of the cathedral we also find paintings by Zurbarán, Ribera and Bocanegra.
The primitive citadel of Civitas Pacis was already widely known during Roman times, yet the Muslims were the ones who gave it its present name, when they called it Batalyoz in the 8th century. The city gained an enormous political and military relevance when it became one of the Taifa kingdoms that proliferated in the Peninsula following the fall of the Caliphate of Cordoba —the Muslim power that ruled the occupied territories— in the 11th century.
Reconquered in the 13th century by the Christian Monarchs, the city reinforced its fighting spirit due to its location on the so-called "line", the boundary between Spain and Portugal.
