Badajoz was the capital of a muslim kingdom and was taken by Alfonso X of Leon in the 13th century. The lion in the arms is the lion of Leon. The pillars are the pillars of Hercules, a favorite badge of Charles I and they are also present in the National Arms. The arms are sometimes shown with a single lion and pillar, with the text wrapped around the single pillar.
