Show answer and explanation

✓ Mérida

Mérida has been the capital of Extremadura since 1983. The Asamblea and the Junta de Extremadura (regional government) are there. It was founded by the Romans with the name Emerita Augusta, and today it keeps the Roman theatre and the bridge, a World Heritage Site. Badajoz is the most populated city in the region and Plasencia is an important city in the north. Do not be fooled by that: the capital is Mérida.
