Alcazaba
Malaga, Spain

Alcazaba

Type: fortress / palace

An impressive 11th-century Moorish fortress situated on a hill above the center of Malaga, one of the best-preserved Islamic fortifications in Spain. Built during the Muslim rule of Andalusia, it is connected to Gibralfaro Castle by a system of ramparts that rise above the city. Within the fortress there are gardens, courtyards, fountains, and the remains of a former palace, while from the walls there is a spectacular view of the port, the Mediterranean, and the old core of Malaga.

Entry: Tickets from ~4.00 EUR
Indicative price — confirm the exact amount before booking.
Tickets can also be purchased on-site.
