Alcazaba de Malaga

Alcazaba de Malaga

Malaga's incredible hilltop Alcazaba, the Arabic word for "citadel", is a Moorish fortification overlooking Malaga's port that once served as the palace of the city's governors back in Malaga's days under Spain's once-powerful Islamic rule. Malag's Alcazaba, the best-preserved alcazaba in Spain, dates back to the 8th century, with subsequent parts built for King Badis of Granada around the 11th century. Above the Alcazaba fortress-palace, you can find the Gibralfaro Castle, the pinnacle of this captivating, centuries-old and historic compound.

Plus, next to the Alcazaba's entrance you'll find even more vestiges of Malaga's lengthy history in the form of a 2nd-century Roman theatere, which was discovered and excavated just a few decades ago!
