The castle is in the town of Puebla de Alcocer, in the region of La Siberia, to the north-west of the province of Badajoz. This fortress was built in the 13th century but it has been remodelled several times, such as in the 15th century, to give it the appearance that you will see today.
Inside the castle, you will discover the keep, which is noteworthy as it has several floors, and you see a unique view from it, which takes in the La Serena reservoir and the plains of La Liberia. From there, sunrises and sunsets are spectacular.
This fortress is also characterised by its scarcity of arrow slits, which gives it a closed and robust appearance.
To get a little closer to its delights, you have the chance to take a stroll around its long walls - a walk that will take you back to times gone by.

Title

Name in English

Located on a crag, Capilla Castle holds numerous historical treasures and provides unique views of the Zújar River. 
From the watchtower of Capilla Castle, which is located in the Extremadura town of the same name, you can see extraordinary panoramic views of the plans on the left bank of the Zújar River, that are created by the La Serena dam.
This fortress stands on a crag, located to the west of the town of Capilla, where it reveals its structure in the shape of an irregular polygon attempting to adapt to the abrupt terrain. A barbican defends the main door, which leads onto the two courtyards. Inside, the cylindrical towers, the half-demolished allure and the remains of a machicolation give you an idea of the defensive nature this castle had.
In spite of its current appearance, you can still see the ruins of the old Arabic walls, both on the south side and the north, and the original stone paving of the staircases and rooms.
