Church
Badajoz Cathedral, also known as the Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist, is a Roman Catholic church with a fortress-like exterior and Gothic interior. Built in the 13th century, it resembles an ancient fortification with strong walls and bastions. The cathedral features a unique blend of Gothic, Renaissance, and Plateresque styles in its windows and facade.
Beautiful cathedral!
Well worth the cost of entry. Sadly, we didn't have time to visit the museum, as well.
We especially enjoyed the information presented as we climbed up into the bell tower. And the art and architecture throughout is amazing.
Also, upon entering the cathedral, we were greeted by Carmen, who gave us a summary of the cathedral's history. Later, when we asked, she kindly recommended other places to visit around Extremadura. (This advice took us to Olivenza and the Basilica in Guadalajara. Places we had't even considered in our plans but so happy we took her advice & experienced them.)

historic mainly 15th century old Metropolitan Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist in Badajoz on Plaza de Espana looks like fortress. Only one 40m high tower, second wasn't built to make the cathedral symmetric. Visited the square on Saturday, but the entrance to the church was closed.
With a height of 41 meters, it presides over the Metropolitan Cathedral of San Juan Bautista. Its sober composition is highlighted by its beautiful windows carved in stone, one in the Gothic style and the other Plateresque, closed in 1532. As well as shields, faces, gargoyles and other decorative motifs, there is a clock on two of its faces, which was reportedly renovated in 1715.
Original.
Big place with some nice tapas bar.
Beutiful town, sweet people.

The Alcazaba of Badajoz is a historic citadel that served as a crucial control point between the Castilian plateau, Portugal, and Andalusia. Dating back to the Almohad period, it was declared a Historic-Artistic Monument in 1931. The fortress features several towers and gateways surrounding an archaeological museum and gardens.
Great place to explore, you can walk the whole perimeter around the walls. Differing views, including great one over Plaza Alta.Free entry and free car park.

One of the most beautiful places to have an event, I barely seen something like this was this crazy view, especially on the sunset
Really fun to explore. Doesn’t feel touristy at all. I think there were only two people exploring this lovely spot the morning f I was there. All the I information about the history of the Alcazaba is in Spanish, Portuguese, and English.
It was particularly nice in the morning with the sun peaking out from behind the hill on which the Alcazaba sits.
Alcazaba de Badajoz
Type: castle
Time spent: 60 min
Entrance: free

The Alcazaba of Badajoz is an ancient citadel in Badajoz. The alcazaba as it now appears was built by the Almohads in the 12th century, although it probably existed from the 9th century, when Badajoz was founded. In the 11th and 12th centuries it was the residence of the rulers of Badajoz.
It was declared a national monument of Spain in 1931.
Nice place to visit. There is a garden,
You have a great view over Badajoz and the outside area.
loved it, especially my two year old. He loved every minute of the walk around the castle walls
Must see place in Badajoz. Big, interesting fortress, from it is possible to see big part of the city, and river as well. We liked this fortress very much, there are tables with texts both in Spanish and English.
Nice visit and free to enter and park. Great to pass some time away, but very neglected which is a shame. Hence the 3 stars

When visiting Badajoz, make sure to start your itinerary at Plaza La Soledad. This emblematic square is home to the Soledad Church, built on the former Virgen de la Soledad hermitage, the city's patron saint. Despite its small size, this square boasts some of Badajoz's most beautiful buildings such as the Tres Campanas Building, which has been converted into a restaurant and hotel, Casa Alvarez, and La Giralda.
Fantastic building just marred by the fact that Telefonica have pulled out of the shops below so it spoils a wonderful piece of architecture. I feel that Badajoz Council should do something about this as it's such an iconic building.
Geraldine D — Google review
Another must visit place in Badajoz. On this square you can find church Ermita de la Virgen de la Soledad, old coffee shop Las tres Campanas and copy of Sevillian La Giralda tower as a corner building. Nice place to take some photos and had a coffee
Beautiful park, lovely old town with battlements and a castle.
cool
Ok
(Translated by Google) If you look one way, it's very pretty... But if you turn around, it's something else... Very different from when you look at that architecture, and on the other side, the architecture is very different, very rural and neglected. A little ugly for my taste, but it's fine for those who call it abandoned 😃 There's places to eat and have a drink. That gives it a few points.
(Original)
Si miras para un lado, muy bonito.... Pero si te giras, ya es otra cosa ... Muy distinto a cuando miras esa arquitectura y al otro lado la arquitectura es muy distinta, como muy rural y dejada. Un poco fea para mí gusto pero está bien para quien dice abandonado 😃 hay donde comer y tomarse algo. Eso le suma unos puntos.
(Translated by Google) A very pretty square in the heart of Badajoz, with iconic buildings like the Giraldilla and the recently renovated Las Tres Campanas hotel/bar. There are terraces for a drink, statues, and a green area. A very pretty spot and a must-see in Badajoz.

(Translated by Google) The place where the parish is located has been a place of worship since ancient times. If you start in the s. XIII (century in which the city is taken by the Lion King Alfonso IX). There was a convent in San Francisco where the popular adjoining square borders. The current building dates back to the 18th century, financed by King John V of Portugal for his daughter Barbara of Braganza to marry the King of Spain, Ferdinand VI. Neoclassical style widespread in Portugal after the Lisbon earthquake.

El lugar donde se encuentra parroquia ha sido lugar de culto desde antaño. Si inicias en el s. XIII ( siglo en el que se toma la ciudad por el rey leones Alfonso IX ).

Convento de San José, also known as "The Adorers," is a stunning Catholic church located in the downtown area of Badajoz. The architecture and detailed interior make it a must-see, especially when it lights up in the evening. This neo-Gothic building, which emerged at the end of the 18th century, stands out for its unique style that is hardly found in the area.
(Translated by Google) Convento de San José’s ancient monastery at night
Pl. San José, 06001 Badajoz
The convent has the same name as the square, since there is the site (especially on its ruins) of the ancient monastery of San José, a very important saint of Badajoz since the time of Alfonso IX of Leon, who even had him saint. He was the patron saint of the diocese for centuries until he was replaced by the current patron saint of the diocese, St. John.
History and style of the Monastery of San José:
The Monastery of San Jose Pilgrim is a Neo-Gothic building (appeared at the end of the 18th century and was inspired by the Gothic of the Middle Ages), an architectural style that has almost no remains in the area, making it even more unique if possible. Its location is also striking, as it is between the streets of San Anton and Suárez de Figueroa and between Plaza San José and Alcazaba de Arabia, giving it the appearance of a large naval building arriving on the coast .
This pilgrim's monastery, although built on the ruins of an old monastery, has a fairly modern date (1917) in historical terms, but it retains treasures and details that are as important as the church and nothing more than the restoration of the old monastery owned later.
The convent was rededicated to San José because it was the site of the convent and as a result of one of the most important historical events of the city of Badajoz: the reconquest of the city under the power of Badajoz. Muslim, built on 19 March 1230 by a section of Alfonso IX of Leon. This ancient monastery was built on the site where the monastery stands today until the 19th century, when the war of independence broke out and the bombings suffered were so extensive that they ended the centuries-old monastery The hospital never recovered from its deterioration.
Francisco Franco Pineda, a popular local Seville military engineer and architect, was responsible for designing the building, along with teacher Adel Pinna Casas. A monastery. In addition to the chapel, the main facade of the monastery is also striking, simple if somewhat small in style, consisting of a pointed arch with a design by Julio Clivilles Relief of baby Jesus and two angels. A rose window, Gothic roof and bell tower with bells complete the building. The vault covering the abbey church is semi-cylindrical with a semicircular dome, very much in the style of Gothic and its ribbed vaults. The exterior has many decorative elements such as spiers, gargoyles and bas-reliefs, many of which are now lost.
Unfortunately, over time, the government's negligence in restoring its artistic and architectural heritage, and the inability of the faithful to afford adequate conservation and renovation, means that this monumental building is at its worst. Admirers have repeatedly addressed the community through different media, denouncing the situation and asking for immediate help to protect a heritage that should not disappear.
In 2006, a series of landslides occurred but were barely addressed as the budget was only allocated to repairing the three main facades. However, this does not eliminate the slightest interest in the must-see attractions of Badajoz, as this cult building remains a great interpretation of Extremadura's history and a gateway to its deepest and most Christian roots.

夜幕下的圣何塞古老隐修院Convento de San José
Pl. San José, 06001 Badajoz
修道院与广场同名，因为那里是圣何塞古老隐修院的所在地（特别是在其废墟上），自莱昂的阿方索九世时代以来，圣何塞是巴达霍斯非常重要的圣人，甚至有他的圣人。几个世纪以来，他一直是教区的守护神，直到他被教区现任守护神圣约翰取代。
圣何塞修道院的历史和风格：
圣何塞朝圣者修道院是一座新哥特式建筑（出现于 18 世纪末，灵感来自中世纪的哥特式），这种建筑风格在该地区几乎没有任何遗迹，这使得如果可能的话，它会更加独特。它的位置也很引人注目，因为它位于圣安东和苏亚雷斯德菲格罗亚街道之间以及圣何塞广场和阿拉伯阿尔卡萨瓦之间，使它看起来像一座抵达海岸的大型海军建筑。
这座朝拜者修道院虽然建在旧隐修院的废墟上，但在历史层面上具有相当现代的日期（1917 年），但它保留的宝藏和细节与教堂一样重要，无非就是老隐修院修复后所拥有的。
修道院再次献给圣何塞是因为它是修道院所在地，也是巴达霍斯市最重要的历史事件之一的结果：当时在巴达霍斯的权力下重新征服了这座城市。穆斯林，由莱昂的阿方索九世的一部分于 1230 年 3 月 19 日建造。这座古老的隐修院一直建在修道院今天所在的地方，直到 19 世纪，因为独立战争爆发后，所遭受的轰炸规模如此之大，以至于他们结束了这座有着数百年历史的隐修院，它再也无法从恶化中恢复过来。
在当地很受欢迎的塞维利亚军事工程师和建筑师弗朗西斯科·弗朗哥·皮内达（Francisco Franco Pineda）与老师阿德尔·皮纳·卡萨斯（Adel Pinna Casas）一起负责设计这座修道院。除了小教堂外，这座修道院的主立面也很引人注目，虽然风格虽然有点小，但很简单，由一个尖拱组成，拱顶上有朱利奥·克利维尔斯 (Julio Clivilles) 设计的圣婴耶稣和两个天使的浮雕。玫瑰窗、哥特式屋顶和带铃铛的钟楼使整个建筑更加完整。覆盖修道院教堂的拱顶呈半筒状，带有半圆形圆顶，非常具有哥特式及其肋状拱顶的风格。外部有许多装饰元素，如尖塔、石像鬼和浅浮雕，其中许多现已丢失。
不幸的是，随着时间的推移，政府在修复艺术和建筑遗产方面的疏忽，以及信徒无力承担充分保护和改造的费用，意味着这座纪念性建筑正处于最糟糕的时刻。崇拜者们多次通过不同媒体向社会发表讲话，谴责这种情况，并请求立即帮助保护不应消失的遗产。
2006年，发生了一系列山体滑坡，但由于预算仅用于修复三个主要外墙，因此几乎没有得到解决。然而，这并没有消除巴达霍斯必游景点的丝毫兴趣，因为这座崇拜者建筑仍然是埃斯特雷马杜拉历史的伟大诠释，也是通往其最深厚和最基督教根源的门户。

White marble like neo-gothic church or convent close to the Alcazaba entrance gate and Plaza Alta. Didn't visit inside as it was closed. Nice view of this church from the walls of Alcazaba
Wednesday 12:15h and it's closed

(Translated by Google) Popularly called The Adorers. It is one of the emblematic buildings of the city, the clash of styles with the nearby Plaza Alta and the Arab citadel. According to the Badajoz tourism page: "The Convent of the Adorers of San José is a neo-Gothic building (emerged at the end of the 18th century and inspired by the Gothic of the Middle Ages), an architectural style of which there are hardly any remains in the area, which makes it an even more unique building if possible."

Popularmente llamado Las Adoratrices. Es de los edificios emblemáticos de la ciudad, el choque de estilos con la cercana Plaza Alta y La alcazaba árabe. Segun la página de turismo de Badajoz: "El Convento de las adoratrices de San José es un edifico neogótico (surgido a final del siglo XVIII e inspirado en el gótico de la Edad Media), estilo arquitectónico del que apenas quedan restos en la zona, lo que lo convierte en un edifico aún más singular si cabe."

Ermita de la Soledad is a beautiful hermitage located in the heart of the old town, offering marvelous views of Guadiana waters, Badajoz Cathedral, and even Portuguese territory. It is the patron saint of the city and holds great significance for the locals. The small church within this unique building reflects the city's deep faith in "Virgen de la Soledad." Visiting during sunset promises an unforgettable experience with breathtaking scenery to behold.

Badajoz in Her hands
(Translated by Google) I asked myself why it had such a modern and different appearance and of course when reading I discovered that it is from 1935, clearly we are not going to see those old medieval styles, however it is beautiful, I think it is the place that caught my attention the most during the visit to Badajoz. I think they have a virgin called solitude and that's why the name.

(Translated by Google) Curious church that burned in 1959 and they decided to leave it in that state.
It was founded in the 13th century, but catastrophes struck it, first the earthquake and then the fire.
Here the Inquisition held its trials and from here it was encouraged to wipe out the Jews (almost 2,000 died).
Free admission. It is next to Rossio Square.

(Translated by Google) The Parish of Santo Domingo in Badajoz is much more than a place of worship; It is a space where faith, history and dedication meet. Located in the heart of the city, its cozy and close atmosphere invites both regular parishioners and those who visit for the first time. The parish pays tribute to Saint Vincent de Paul, whose example of life continues to inspire all who pass through its doors. This saint, known for his unwavering dedication to those most in need and for being the founder of the Congregation of the Mission and the Daughters of Charity, is a model of dedication and solidarity. His legacy of service and love for others is reflected in every corner of the parish and in the many activities carried out in his name.
Special mention deserves Father Alfonso, who has dedicated decades of his life to the community of Santo Domingo. With his close treatment and his inexhaustible energy, he has been a true pillar for the faithful, always willing to listen, help and guide those who need it. Under his leadership, the parish has kept the tradition of Saint Vincent de Paul alive, organizing numerous solidarity initiatives and support programs for the most vulnerable. Father Alfonso's work has left an indelible mark on the lives of many, and his dedication has been a constant testimony of the importance of faith lived day by day. In the Parish of Santo Domingo, the spirit of service remains more alive than ever.

La Parroquia de Santo Domingo en Badajoz es mucho más que un lugar de culto; es un espacio donde la fe, la historia y la dedicación se encuentran.

La parroquia rinde homenaje a San Vicente de Paúl, cuyo ejemplo de vida sigue inspirando a todos los que cruzan sus puertas. Este santo, conocido por su inquebrantable dedicación a los más necesitados y por ser el fundador de la Congregación de la Misión y las Hijas de la Caridad, es un modelo de entrega y solidaridad. Su legado de servicio y amor al prójimo se refleja en cada rincón de la parroquia y en las muchas actividades que se realizan en su nombre.
Mención especial merece el Padre Alfonso, quien ha dedicado décadas de su vida a la comunidad de Santo Domingo. Con su trato cercano y su inagotable energía, ha sido un verdadero pilar para los fieles, siempre dispuesto a escuchar, ayudar y guiar a quienes lo necesitan. Bajo su liderazgo, la parroquia ha mantenido viva la tradición de San Vicente de Paúl, organizando numerosas iniciativas solidarias y programas de apoyo para los más vulnerables. La labor del Padre Alfonso ha dejado una huella imborrable en la vida de muchos, y su dedicación ha sido un testimonio constante de la importancia de la fe vivida día a día. En la Parroquia de Santo Domingo, el espíritu de servicio sigue más vivo que nunca.

The beautiful church of Badajoz, known as Parroquia San Andrés Apóstol, attracts a large number of people on the 28th day of each month. This is because it houses the revered image of San Judas Tadeo, and individuals come to seek his blessings and favors. Additionally, during Holy Week, this church showcases the processions of the revered Holy Christ of Descent and Lady of Hope.

Bonita iglesia para visitar y escuchar misa. Es famosa por San Judas, de hecho todos los 28 está abarrotada de feligreses. Cuenta tmb con una bella imagen de la esperanza y el famoso Cristo del Descendimiento, talla centenaria y muy valorada a nivel artístico y a nivel popular cuando sale a las calles durante la semana santa pacense.
(Translated by Google) I have been to their processional exit on Holy Wednesday, IT IS THE BEST, the Virgin of Hope is the best and the Christ of the descent is very PRECIOUS. I liked it so much that next year I'm going to leave Nazarene there❤️❤️
(Original)
Yo he ido su salida procesional el Miércoles Santo, ES LO MEJOR, la virgen de la Esperanza es lo mejor y el Cristo del descendimiento es bua una PRECIOSIDAD. Me ha gustado tanto que el año que viene voy a salir de nazareno allí❤️❤️
(Translated by Google) It has a beautiful altarpiece. In this church there is the image of San Judas Tadeo, patron saint of difficult and desperate cases, who is visited on the 28th of each month. They also have the image of Saint Gema Galgani, patron saint of students. It is located in the Plaza de Cervantes.
(Original)
Tiene un retablo precioso. En esta iglesia se encuentra la imagen de San Judas Tadeo, patrón de los casos difíciles y desesperados al cual se le hace su visita los días 28 de cada mes. También tienen la imagen de Santa Gema Galgani patrona de los estudiantes. Se encuentra en la plaza de Cervantes.
(Translated by Google) Very unknown church in Badajoz. With a beautiful interior and very secluded atmosphere. It has a good set of altarpieces and paintings. It is also a sister church. Open during hours of worship. You have to visit it when you stay in the capital of Badajoz.
(Original)
Iglesia muy desconocida en Badajoz. Con un bello interior y ambiente muy recoleto. Tiene un buen conjunto de retablos y pinturas. También es iglesia cofradiera. Abierta en horas de culto. Hay que visitarla en la estancia en la capital pacense.
(Translated by Google) The Plaza de Cervantes that is higher up, after having made an attempt to fix it, is all over the ground, starting to build a real mess... Something semi-pedestrian that has already destroyed the use of it due to the traffic of cars... Another work without any type of sense or logic typical of Badajoz..
(Original)
La plaza de Cervantes que está más arriba después de haber hecho un intento por arreglarla está todo el suelo empezando sea levantar una auténtica chapuza... Algo semipeatonal que ya ha destrozado el uso de la misma por el tránsito de coches... Otra obra sin ningún tipo de sentido ni lógica típica de Badajoz..

The Parroquia de San Agustín (Sta. María la Real) in the city of Badajoz is a significant historical site that is worth exploring, especially with the assistance of a guide. It serves as the headquarters for various brotherhoods, including the one responsible for organizing the official procession of Badajoz known as the Holy Burial. Additionally, it is also home to the Risen One and Rocio Brotherhoods.
(Translated by Google) Hello!! The church of San Agustín is built on the Aljama mosque in Badajoz. Its façade presents the statue of San Agustín, the first church of the military in Badajoz. It is the oldest and deserves all the care and affection so that it continues for centuries and centuries with the Pacenses.🐕🇪🇸
(Original)
Hola!! La iglesia de San Agustín está construida sobre la mezquita Aljama de Badajoz.Su fachada presenta la estatua de San Agustín, la primera iglesia de los militares de Badajoz. Es la más antigua y se merece todo el mimo y cariño para qué siga siglos y siglos con los Pacenses.🐕🇪🇸

(Translated by Google) Historic place in the city of Badajoz. It is worth a visit, even better if you have the support of a guide. Headquarters of the brotherhood that takes out the official procession of Badajoz, the Santo Entierro, as well as the headquarters of the Risen One and the Brotherhood of Rocío.
(Original)
Histórico lugar de la ciudad de Badajoz. Merece una visita, mejor si se cuenta con el apoyo de un guía. Sede de la hermandad que saca la procesión oficial de Badajoz, el Santo Entierro, además de sede del Resucitado y la Hermandad del Rocío.
(Translated by Google) It's the best there is!!!
I went to their procession on Easter Sunday and when the procession ended they gave away the flowers of the steps, the San Agustín processions are impressive, I highly recommend going❤️❤️
(Original)
Es lo mejor que hay!!!
Yo fui a su procesión en el domingo de resurrección y cuando terminó la procesión regalaban las flores de los pasos, las procesiones de San Agustín son impresionantes recomiendo muchísimo ir❤️❤️

(Translated by Google) I really like this parish, always working for its people and collaborating in all the religious activities of the city. Now they have a magnificent and enormous Nativity scene, in which I suppose they have spent many hours in which the good taste, effort and enthusiasm can be appreciated, with many daily visits. But don't forget to contribute a good bonus, as the figures and materials to assemble it also cost, they put in the effort. Let's help it be maintained, they deserve it.
(Original)
Me gusta mucho esta parroquia, siempre trabajando por su gente y colaborando en todas las actividades religiosas de la ciudad. Ahora tienen un magnífico y enorme Belén, en el que supongo han echado muchas horas en el que se aprecia el buen gusto, esfuerzo e ilusión, con muchas visitas diarias. Pero no os olvidéis de contribuir con un buen aguinaldo, que las figuras y materiales para montarlo también cuestan, ellos ponen el esfuerzo. Contribuyamos a que se pueda mantener, se lo merecen.
(Translated by Google) Parish located in an area where "material" is sold. A real shame that such a worthy monument is surrounded by these uncivil traffickers.
(Original)
Parroquia situada en una zona dónde se vende "material ". Una auténtica pena que tan digno monumento se encuentre rodeada de esos traficantes incívicos.
(Translated by Google) I loved the visit, I really wanted to see the interior, especially the image of the sleeping virgin or the transit that I had been told so much about.
(Original)
Me encantó la visita tenia muchas ganas de conocer el interior, especialmente la imagen de la virgen dormida o del tránsito de la que tanto me habían hablado.

Very spiritual
Moyo A — Google review
(Translated by Google) We have a family member in the columbarium. When we went to hire it, everything was good words and facilities from the priest. If we let us know we could go without a problem. Well, it turns out that it only opens once a month. Being granted an extra visit is something unusual, it always causes problems. That day it opens it is full of people and this man is like a nightclub bouncer rushing. No privacy, it seems like a fair. It is forbidden to leave flowers, which according to him stain. If it rains you don't enter, which also gets stained. And be careful not to turn to the wrong door or do something he doesn't like, because then he starts to reproach everything loudly. This man behaves the opposite of how he should.
(Original)
Tenemos un familiar en el columbario. Cuando fuimos a contratarlo todo fueron buenas palabras y facilidades por parte del párroco. Que si lo avisábamos podríamos ir sin problema. Pues resulta que solo abre una vez al mes. Que te conceda una visita extra es algo inusual, siempre pone pegas. Ese día que abre se llena de gente y este señor está como un portero de discoteca metiendo prisa. Nula intimidad, parece una feria. Prohibido dejar flores, que según él manchan. Si llueve no se entra, que también se mancha. Y ojo con equivocarte de puerta o hacer algo que no le guste, porque entonces empieza a recriminar todo a voces. Este señor se comporta al contrario de como debería.
(Translated by Google) I go only on Thursday mornings to the exposition of the Blessed Sacrament. It is wonderful to be able to spend the holy hour alone with the Lord. It is not my parish and I have only gone to mass and adult catechism a few times. What I know seems magnificent to me and I love its garden with María de Fátima where I have sometimes gone to celebrations. The dedication of that parish is wonderful: the Holy Spirit.
(Original)
Voy solo los jueves por la mañana a la exposición del Santísimo. Es maravilloso poder hacer la hora santa a solas con el Señor. No es mi parroquia y solo he ido algunas veces a misa y a catequesis de adultos. Me parece magnífico lo que conozco y me encanta su jardín con María de Fátima donde ha veces he ido a celebraciones. Maravillosa la advocación de esa parroquia: del Espíritu Santo.
(Translated by Google) I can only say Thank you!!! Today I am closer to God again although I have to make myself visit him more often.
(Original)
Solo puedo decir Gracias!!! Hoy vuelvo a estar más cerca de dios aunque tengo que hacerme ver el visitarlo más a menudo.
(Translated by Google) Modern concrete church. I didn't like it at all, neither inside nor out. I'm talking about the building and the interior decoration. Nothing to say either about the clerics, or the service, much less about the beliefs of each one. It would be missing.
(Original)
Iglesia moderna de hormigón. No me gustó nada, ni por dentro ni por fuera. Hablo del edificio y de la decoración interior. Nada que decir ni de los clérigos, ni del servicio y mucho menos de la de y creencias de cada uno. Faltaría.
(Translated by Google) Very cold architecture, already very unwelcoming interior and even more so with how cold it is and with all the doors open. I don't understand why everything is open because it's so cold that you can't stop to pray or meditate calmly.
They should start thinking logically because while politicians do not open a single window, ordinary people have to suffer cold everywhere unjustifiably. Reflect.
It wouldn't hurt even if it were a coat of white paint because it looks like a bunker instead of a church.
(Original)
Arquitectura muy fría ya de por si interior muy poco acogedor y más con el frío que hace y con todas las puertas abiertas. No entiendo a qué responde que este todo abierto porque del frío que hace no se puede parar a rezar ni meditar con tranquilidad.
Deberían a empezar a pensar de manera lógica porque mientras los políticos no abren una sola ventana la gente de a pie tenemos que pasar frío en todas partes de manera injustificada. Reflexionen.
No le vendría mal aunque fuera una capa de pintura blanca porque parece un búnker en vez de una iglesia.
(Translated by Google) This temple is located in the Cerro del Viento neighborhood of Badajoz, next to the bus station. The architect of the project was Inmaculada García, the first stone was laid on March 27, 2011 and it was inaugurated on March 25, 2012, with Santiago García-Aracil, archbishop of Mérida-Badajoz. The provisional temple was located in a garage on Alcántara Street, with a capacity for 40 people. The current temple has capacity for 200 people sitting and another 100 standing. The interior is simple, bright and welcoming. The altar is presided over by a carving of the crucified Jesus and a painting that represents the scene of Pentecost, the Coming of the Holy Spirit on the Apostles and the Virgin Mary, a work donated by Isabel Antúnez. On the gospel side there is the image of the Virgin of the Miraculous Medal.

El templo provisional se ubicó en un garaje en la calle Alcántara, con una capacidad para 40 personas. El templo actual tiene capacidad para 200 personas sentadas y otras 100 de pie. El interior es sencillo, luminoso y acogedor. Preside el altar una talla de Jesús crucificado y una pintura que representa la escena de Pentecostés, la Venida del Espíritu Santo sobre los Apóstoles y la Virgen María, obra donada por Isabel Antúnez. En el lado del evangelio se encuentra la imagen de la Virgen de la Medalla Milagrosa.

Good preparation for first communion and confirmation.
