Alcazaba Malaga

Alcazaba Malaga

If history is your thing, this is a gem! This fortress palace, whose name in Arabic means citadel, is one of the historical monuments of the city of Malaga, and a must-visit.
Dating from the Muslim period, it is located at the foot of Mount Gibralfaro where the Arab defensive castle is located and to which it was linked by a corridor sheltered by walls called La Coracha. Next to the Roman Theater and in front of the Customs building, it is an opportunity to see in just a few metres the influences of Roman, Arab and Renaissance cultures, which makes this corner a very special place.
The palace was built between 1057 and 1063 according to Muslim historians, at the behest of the Berber king of Granada, Badis.
