With more than 150,000 inhabitants, Badajoz is the most populous municipality and the largest economic center in Extremadura.

The city was founded around 875 by Ibn Marwan. Under his successors, was the capital of an emirate that encompassed the Spanish Extremadura and, in the 11th century, almost all of Portugal. In 1094 the city was conquered by the Almoravids.It was conquered in 1230 by Alfonso IX. and permanently taken from the Moors by León.

The Museo Arqueológico Provincial was founded in 1867. Its headquarters are located on the site of the "Islamic citadel" in the highest part of Badajoz.
