ART AND HISTORY

T

he geographic situation of the Extremaduran lands has made them be a zone of constant settlements of all the cultures and villages that have inhabited in the Iberian Peninsula from Palaeolithic to the arrival of Roma. Thanks to that, it is possible to know “in situ” the important artistic or architectonical examples of unquestionable, hereditary value, many other that have been brought to the display cabinet of the Extremaduran Museums, without forgetting about those which are proudly on display in National and International Museums. Roman troops and settles coming from the Roman province of Bética would arrive at the current Extremadura trying to annex new lands to the Roman Republic at the beginning of II b. C.
