The castle-fortress of Antequera offers the best views of the city. Although the fortification dates from the Muslim period, the construction was probably carried out on Roman remains. It can be visited between 10:00 and 15:00, except on public holidays.

The Moorish castle "Alcazaba" is enthroned on a dome of the hill above the city. Nice view of the city.
