Monesterio

Monesterio is a municipality located in the province of Badajoz, Extremadura. This area has been inhabited since prehistory, as evidenced by the megalithic structures present, but the founding of the current town occurred in the Middle Ages by the Order of the Temple.

In the 19th century, after the fall of the Ancien Régime, it became an independent constitutional municipality. In Monesterio, we can find places of great historical and artistic interest as well as two museums that are very representative of its gastronomy: the Mycological Museum and the Ham Museum.
