	'''Badajoz''' ({{IPA-es\|baðaˈxoθ\|lang}}; formerly written ''Badajos'' in English) is the capital of the [[Province of Badajoz]] in the [[autonomous communities of Spain\|autonomous community]] of [[Extremadura]], Spain.

	~~Originally a settlement by groups such as the [[Ancient Rome\|Romans]] and the [[Visigoths]], its previous name was Civitas Pacensis.~~ Badajoz was conquered by the [[Moors]] in the 8th century and re-founded as Baṭalyaws, and later in the 11th century the city became the seat of a separate Moorish kingdom, the [[Taifa of Badajoz]]. After the [[Reconquista]], the area was disputed between Spain and Portugal for several centuries with alternating control resulting in several wars including the [[War of the Spanish Succession\|Spanish War of Succession]] (1705), the [[Peninsular War]] (1808–1811), the [[Siege of Badajoz (1812)\|Storming of Badajoz]] (1812), and the [[Spanish Civil War]] (1936).

	Badajoz is the [[Episcopal see\|see]] of the [[Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Mérida-Badajoz]]. Prior to the merger of the Diocese of Mérida and the Diocese of Badajoz, Badajoz was the see of the Diocese of Badajoz from the bishopric's inception in 1255. The city has a degree of eminence, crowned as it is by the ruins of the Moorish castle [[Alcazaba of Badajoz]] and overlooking the [[Guadiana]] river, which flows between the castle-hill and the powerfully armed fort of San Cristobal. The architecture of Badajoz is indicative of its tempestuous history; even the [[Badajoz Cathedral]], built in 1238, resembles a fortress, with its massive walls. It is served by [[Badajoz Railway Station]] and [[Badajoz Airport]].		Badajoz is the [[Episcopal see\|see]] of the [[Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Mérida-Badajoz]].
