Alcazaba de Badajoz★★★★★ Ezra Halloway's pick
The 9th-century Moorish citadel that defines the city — free to enter, with the 30m Torre de Espantaperros offering views across the Guadiana valley to Portugal. Inside: the Archaeological Museum with Visigoth, Roman and Moorish finds, and the Jardines de La Galera. A full morning if you take it slowly.

MUBA — Museo de Bellas Artes de Badajoz★★★★ Ezra Halloway's pick
Over 2,000 works from the 18th to 20th centuries, including pieces by Zurbarán, Goya, Picasso and Dalí. A compact, excellent collection in a 19th-century palace that punches well above Badajoz's size.
