A city to walk around and to get lost in its history and impressive legacy. During a visit to Zafra you can enjoy multiple visits: the Colegiata de La Candelaria, the Old Synagogue, the Monastery of La Encarnación and the Convent of Santa Clara and Santa Catalina.

But the tour does not end there, we can also discover the Casa del Ajimez, the Tower of San Francisco, the Pillar of Saint Benedict, the Gates of Badajoz and Jerez, the Neoclassical Palacio del Conde de La Corte, the Grande and Chica squares, the Jewish quarter of Zafra and and the Palace of the Dukes of Feria.

This is the colloquial name of Zafra's walled enclosure, where the Hotel Huerta Honda is located. This construction, of about 6 meters of height, was ordered in 1437 by Gomez Suarez de Figueroa, First Lord of Feria, to build inside the castle that became his residence.
