Castillo de Gibralfaro

Castillo de Gibralfaro

A 14th-century Moorish fortress situated on a hill above Málaga, connected to the Alcazaba by a defensive wall known as La Coracha. It was built during the Nasrid dynasty to protect the city and its port, while its name derives from a lighthouse that once stood on this site. From its walls, visitors enjoy views of Málaga, the port, the Mediterranean Sea, and the surrounding hills, and within the complex there is also a small museum dedicated to the history of the fortress.
