Almendralejo

Located in southwestern Spain, Almendralejo sits at 337 meters above sea level in the Tierra de Barros region of Extremadura.

The silver Missorium of Theodosius I discovered in Almendralejo indicates the presence of an important Roman settlement in this area during late antiquity.

The Gothic-style Church of Purification, completed in 1515, features a balanced tower and contains a seventeenth-century altarpiece displaying local religious heritage.

The municipality maintains strong agricultural production, with extensive vineyards, cereal fields, and facilities for wine, brandy, and olive oil processing.

The Albero de Ferria, built in 1747, represented an early example of hydropower engineering with its 122-meter-long and 19.5-meter-high rubble-masonry dam structure.
