Alcazaba of Malaga

avatar

For today I have a few memories from last autumn in Malaga, it's about the Alcazaba built between 1057 and 1063 a fortress palace from Moorish times, which was built on an earlier fortress of Phoenician-Punic origin.The history of Málaga is one of the most rich and interesting in Europe.

Alcazaba is located at the foot of Mount Gibralfaro, on which the castle with the same name can be found. It consisted of 110 main towers and several side towers. The Alcazaba of Malaga was the residence of Arab leaders and is one of the beautiful city's landmarks. This masterpiece of Moorish architecture is a wonderful combination of beauty and history. It can be reached on foot from the port, the train station, bus station and tourist information office are also very close by.

A highly recommended tour, also thanks to the interesting explanations of our guide, the visit was very enjoyable and time just flew by.
Its main feature is the three concentric walls that surround it, giving it a military character with the highest level of security compared to other similar buildings in Muslim Spain.
