September 23, 2024, Castillo de Nogales

The fortress has a 35-metre-high keep and a perimeter wall with cylindrical towers at the corners. Originally, the castle had a drawbridge that allowed access through a moat, although this no longer exists. The castle was restored by the Junta de Extremadura at the end of the 20th century, preserving its structure and historical elements.

Together with Ribera de Nogales, it is part of the ZEC «Rivera de los Limonetes-Nogales». We can observe the native vegetation and enjoy nature.

In 1811, in the War of Independence, the famous battle of La Albuera took place. As a reminder of that battle, you can see, on Avenida de Extremadura, two large mosaics commemorating it, which was the beginning of the end of the French invasion of Spanish territory.

Located in the Badajoz town of Nogales, this medieval fortress built in the 15th century sits on a small hill and its character is purely defensive. For this reason, its most outstanding element is the keep surrounded by a wall, since it was of great importance during the clashes with the French and the Portuguese.

Rolling through the Sierra Suroeste in the limits of Nogales and Salvaleón, we find one of the many single tracks that we will find in this area, especially if we follow the route of the Twelve Apostles.
