THE 10 MOST BEAUTIFUL TOWNS AND VILLAGES IN THE PROVINCE OF BADAJOZ
7/10
FERIA
The rise and fall of the narrow lanes guide the visitor through Feria, where you can see monuments such as the 16th-century castle—the main bastion and centre of operations of the Duke of Feria—the town hall, and the church of San Bartolomé. A little further away, on the Sierra del Molino, is the Casa del Monje dolmen, here you can view the surrounding area from the southern slope of the Sierra Vieja mountain. Originally, Celts, Romans and Arabs came here to settle, although it was not until the 15th century that it acquired its current name, after Gómez Suárez de Figueroa, master of the Order of Santiago. He acquired these lands under the title of Duke of Feria.
