Fregenal de la Sierra
Spain, Spain
Fregenal de la Sierra is a historic municipality and town in Badajoz province, Extremadura, southwestern Spain, strategically positioned at a crossroads near the Portuguese border.
Founded amid 13th-century conflicts between Seville's council and Knights Templar who built its prominent castle around 1283 under Alfonso X - it evolved from Celtic roots at Nertobriga through Roman municipium status into a key military outpost for the Order's largest Castilian encomienda alongside Jerez de los Caballeros.
Templar influence persisted until 1309 when it passed to nobles, later serving in wars against Portugal, earning city status in 1873 for crown services, and preserving landmarks like its seven-towered castle, bullring, and convents amid ongoing cultural significance.
