The castle offers panoramic views of the surrounding area on clear days. At its foot is the parish church of Santa María del Mercado, a fine example of 15th-century Mudejar architecture. Alburquerque also boasts other interesting monuments, such as the 13th-century Reliquias hermitage and the 16th-century San Mateo church.
