Alcazaba of Málaga

11th century · 11th century

The Alcazaba of Málaga is a Moorish fortress-palace on a hill above the port of Málaga in southern Spain, built mainly in the 11th century and enlarged under the Nasrids. It stands above remains of the Phoenician and Roman town, beside a Roman theatre, and is linked by walls to the higher castle of Gibralfaro. It is one of the best-preserved Muslim fortresses in Spain.
