Castillo de Feria s. XV

Spain, Spain

---

Castillo de Feria is a 15th-century fortress built by the powerful Suárez de Figueroa family atop a prominent hill overlooking the town of Feria in Badajoz province, Extremadura, Spain, expanding upon an earlier 11th-century Muslim alcazaba known as Seridja.

Constructed between 1460 and 1513 under Lorenzo Suárez de Figueroa, first Conde de Feria, the castle features a massive square Torre del Homenaje with rounded corners, robust curtain walls, and strategic visibility to nearby fortresses like Zafra, Nogales, and Villalba de los Barros for optical signaling across their señorío. 

Strategically positioned to control vast plains near Portugal, the well-restored structure now houses the Museo Señorío de Feria, offering panoramic views dubbed "El Faro de Extremadura" as a symbol of noble dominance during the Trastámara era.
