History
The Castillian city of Badajoz was an Islamic foundation under the Muladi nobleman Ibn Marwan who established the city ca. 875. Badajoz was eventually invaded by (and captured by) Christians under Alfonso VI of Castile. Alfonso X established a bishopric and began work on the Cathedral of San Juan Bautista.
