It is an irregularly shaped square, surrounded by stately homes and palaces that reflect the splendor of Brozas in the 16th and 17th centuries, when it was the center of power for the Order of Alcántara. The arcades and facades with wrought-iron balconies are particularly noteworthy, as is the presence of noble buildings such as the Argüellos Carvajal Palace and the Orive Salazar Palace nearby.

The Plaza Mayor of Brozas (Cáceres, Extremadura) is the historic heart of this town, known for its rich heritage and traditional atmosphere. Although not as monumental as those of Cáceres or Trujillo, it has a special charm due to its history and vernacular architecture.

The Church of Santa María de Almocóvar, located in the Plaza de España in Alcántara (Cáceres), is one of the most emblematic churches in Extremadura and has been declared a Site of Cultural Interest since 1987. Inside, several pieces of interest are preserved: the tomb of Commander Antonio Bravo de Jerez, made by Lucas Mitata; five panels by Luis de Morales; a recumbent Christ, attributed to Martínez Montañés; a sculpture by Sebastián de Paz from 1639; the tomb of Master Yáñez de la Barbuda; and the baptismal font where Saint Peter of Alcántara was baptized.

On the Spanish side, the bridge is located in the municipality of Alcántara in the province of Cáceres. It is reached via the regional highway EX-207 from the nearby town of Piedras Albas. On the Portuguese side, it connects with a local road to reach the town of Segura, from which this bridge takes its name. It was built in the Roman province of Lusitania to give continuity to the Roman road that connected Norba Caesarina (on the Via de la Plata) with the civitas Egitania (Idanha-a-Velha, Portugal) and with Bracara Augusta (Braga, Portugal), in order to save the Erjas river. This river marks the border line between Spain and Portugal, and the bridge serves as an international crossing between both countries.
