Benquerencia de la Serena
Spain, Spain
Benquerencia de la Serena is a small municipality in Badajoz province, Extremadura, Spain, within the La Serena comarca surrounded by sierras like Benquerencia, los Tiros, and Almorchón.
Its history traces Roman settlements through Visigothic and Muslim periods to 13th-century Christian reconquest by the Order of Alcántara, which repurposed local fortresses for defense and repopulation amid strategic plains control.
Comprising the main town and pedanías like Helechal, La Nava, Puerto Hurraco, and Puerto Mejoral, it preserves prehistoric rock art, archaeological sites from Neolithic to Bronze Age, and the ruined castle reflecting layered cultural heritage despite a modest population around 900.
