Early in its history, Alcalá de Guadaira gained its name from Arabs who called the city ‘al-kalat’ for the beautiful Medieval Castle there with its massive defense walls that were built in the 13th century. The Merchenilla Castle a few kilometers out from Alcalá de Guadaira was built in the 14th century. The beautiful countryside is home to two nature preserves: The Pinares de Oromana and The Ribera del Rio Guadiana. Two convents, the Santuario de la Virgen del Águila and the Ermita de San Roque, are a mixture of historical ambience and beauty as are the towns’s two other ancient landmarks, the San Sebastian’s Church and Santiago’s Church. Visitors can also see a feat of architecture called the Bridge of Carlos the III (Puente Carlos III). Created of stone in early Roman times, this bridge (with a few restorations over a period of time) still crosses the Guadaira River to this day.
