Almendralejo, Agricultural municipality in Badajoz Province, Spain
Almendralejo is a municipality in Badajoz Province, located in southwestern Spain within the Tierra de Barros region of Extremadura. The town sits at 337 meters altitude, surrounded by rolling farmland and vineyards that stretch across the gently sloping terrain.
The area has been inhabited since Roman times, as evidenced by a silver platter from the fourth century discovered here. During the medieval period the settlement grew through agriculture and winemaking, developing into a regional production center.
The Gothic-style Church of Purification, completed in 1515, features a balanced tower and contains a seventeenth-century altarpiece displaying local religious heritage.
Access is straightforward via well-maintained roads that cross the agricultural plain, making orientation easy. Visiting is possible year-round, though autumn brings harvest activities related to wine production that add interest to a stay.
An eighteenth-century rubble-masonry dam was built here to harness waterpower and irrigate fields, stretching more than 120 meters in length. The structure represents one of the earliest examples of this type of engineering work on the Iberian Peninsula.
