The castle of Herrera del Duque is located on a hill in the Sierra de Chamorro, very close to the municipality of Herrera del Duque in the province of Badajoz. It was built during the 15th century on an elevation of the terrain of said sierra at about 750 meters of altitude, from where the entire town and also its extensive region are dominated. It consists of a walled enclosure, in a fairly good state of conservation, built in stone with some details, such as arches, windows, etc., in masonry. It was entrusted to the Order of Alcántara from the 15th century, which is when the first documented references to the fortress date.

I was very happy to be able to visit it inside. Sandra (from the Tourist Office) was very professional. I hope that tourism in the area is encouraged more because it has impressive things. I think it would be interesting if they put a sign in the Castle that there are guided tours and the telephone number of the tourist office so that people know on site.

Spectacular castle and impressive views.. A height of around 800 meters where peace, fresh air and the distant sounds of lambs and other animals make this place a paradise for those who know how to enjoy it.

The castle-fortress of Herrera del Duque, was built using the stone along with the masonry for small details, such as arches, windows, etc. It was entrusted to the Order of Alcántara from the 15th century, the date on which the first documented references to the building appear.
