The castle sits atop a hill in Puebla de Alcocer (Badajoz, Extremadura), approximately 550 meters above sea level. Its origins date back to the 12th and 13th centuries, possibly built upon the site of an earlier Mudéjar fortress. It was remodeled in 1445 after being donated to Don Gutierre de Sotomayor, Master of the Order of Alcántara, by King John II of Castile. At the end of the 15th century, it passed to Doña Elvira de Zúñiga, as reflected in the coat of arms on the keep.
