Fuerte de San Cristobal, Military fortification in Badajoz, Spain.
The fortress extends across a strategic hilltop position with thick stone walls, multiple defensive positions, and clear views of the surrounding landscape.
Spanish military engineers designed and constructed this defensive structure during the 17th century to protect the border region between Spain and Portugal.
The fort represents Spanish military architecture from the early modern period, incorporating elements of European defensive engineering traditions.
Access to the fort requires a moderate uphill walk, and visitors should allow at least two hours to explore the different sections of the complex.
The fort contains several underground chambers and passages that were used for storing supplies and providing secure movement during times of conflict.
