Llerena, Municipality in Badajoz Province, Spain
Llerena stands at 641 meters above sea level in southwestern Spain, serving as the judicial and economic center for 20 surrounding municipalities.
The Order of Santiago received control of Llerena in 1243 from Ferdinand III of Castile, following its capture from Arab forces by Pelayo Pérez Correa.
The municipality developed a mixed society where Christians, Jews, and Muslims lived together until the Jewish expulsion decree of 1492 changed the demographics.
The town connects to other regions through National Roads 432 and 413, with the Church of Our Lady of Granada marking its central religious structure.
Llerena maintained Spain's third largest Inquisition court by jurisdictional reach, established in 1508, which operated until its abolition in 1834.
