Alcazaba in Malaga

Malaga, like other Andalusian cities, has its own Islamic castle, which was built in the 11th century. One of the most popular attractions in Malaga, the Alcazaba is an Arab palace and fortress with ornamental gardens. Enjoy panoramic views of the city while marveling at the ingenious design tricks that Muslims used to protect their fortress. However, unlike most of the castles of the Islamic era in Spain, the Alcazaba in Malaga is very well preserved. It has been restored several times in the last decades, which explains why the original structure is still in good condition. The fort-castle is built on top of a hill and offers great views of the city of Malaga and the surrounding bay. The fortification is one of the most emblematic landmarks of Malaga and you must explore it when you are in the city. La Alcazaba is also home to a Roman Theater. The theater, located under the Alcazaba, is in the heart of Malaga's central square. The magnificent remains bear witness to the tourist bustle of the city. Locals love to relax on the stone steps of the Roman Theater, as admission is free and never too crowded.
