- Alcazaba de Málaga
The Alcazaba de Málaga is an 11th-century palatial fortification, a significant landmark from Muslim-ruled Al-Andalus. Visitors explore its well-preserved double-walled enclosures and intricate fortified gates, which once served strategic defensive purposes. Inside, the setting features serene courtyards adorned with orange trees and tranquil fountains, alongside palatial residences exhibiting distinctive Islamic architecture with elegant horseshoe arches and delicate stucco work. From its elevated position, the Alcazaba offers expansive views of Málaga, including the port, the cathedral, and the adjacent Roman theater, whose materials were incorporated into its construction.
