Lala
A fortified city
Badajoz is a fortified city. In the late seventeenth century, due to the Spanish and Portuguese war, eight bastions were built in the southern part of the city, following the model of French fortifications designed by the military engineer the Marquis of Vauban. The bastion of San Roque is located between Ronda and Calle Estadium. Inside there's a garden, and even a small field to play football. The bastion of San Roque used to contain the old bullring, and today houses the conference centre. Other bastions of the city are: La Trinidad, San Vicente, San José and Santiago.
