Alcazaba Description
On a hill to the northeast of Badajoz is the Alcazaba, once the seat of its Moorish rulers, with remains of the Mudéjar-style palace of the Dukes of Fería, now in a public park. A striking feature is the octagonal Torre de Espantaperros or Torre del Apéndiz, a massive battlemented keep built by the Almohads, from which there are extensive views of the Río Guadiana and Extremadura. A former mosque houses the Archeological Museum.
