It's a shame about the state of the castle, because it has tourist potential. The place where it is located and the remains that are preserved are wonderful. The problem is that it is practically abandoned. There is dirt, graffiti, etc. In the parade ground there is an open cistern, a complete danger for someone to fall into.

The Castle of Burguillos del Cerro is a historical treasure. Its majesty and panoramic views transport you to the Middle Ages. A hidden gem in Badajoz that deserves to be explored. Safety pin. The best, the views.

Although I am not impartial because it is the castle of my town, it is a magical and special place with spectacular views. I recommend going up early in the morning or late in the afternoon (in summer) to avoid dying of dehydration or heat stroke. The ideal is to leave your car in the town (you can park practically anywhere) and get to the Plaza Alta and from there, take the path up, don't litter!

The castle (of the Knights Templar) is located in a location that overlooks an extensive territory surrounding the town of Burguillos, declared an Asset of Cultural Interest with the Category of Historical Ensemble. The town itself is a hodgepodge of architecture corresponding to different periods of our history, both in noteworthy buildings and popular architecture (the Ermita del Cristo, for example). The center of the town is in the Plaza Alta, and in this you can already see remarkable constructions. From here you can access a series of alleys with a medieval flavor, narrow and typical of the so-called Jewish quarters, from some of its corners you can see the imposing fortress, of variable beauty depending on the day; and from here you can see the town with its notable buildings: Church of Santa María de la Encina, from the 13th century, the Church of San Juan Bautista, from the 14th century, various buildings from the 16th century: the house of the Corregidor and Cárcel del Real , the convent of the Franciscan Conceptionists, the Monastery of Las Llagas de San Francisco, the hermitage of Nuestra Señora del Amparo... A friendly, sociable, simple population...; typical idiosyncrasy that is already being lost in larger cities and towns.

Imposing fortress of Muslim origin from the 13th century and later occupied by the Templars. Accessible from the town along a route with ramps and steps. Going through the interior of the castle is, as in most of those in Spain, somewhat dangerous and should be approached by the appropriate person. For the rest, the views and the complex denote the importance that the site must have had in its time of splendor. Your visit is recommended.
