The Alcazaba de Baza was a large fortification from the Andalusian period of which only part of the wall and some of the towers remain. What you see now is nothing compared to the original enclosure, which was affected by the earthquake of 1531 and by the urban development process that has taken place since the 18th century.

The Alcazaba de Baza was a fortification located in the urban area of the Granada town of Baza, Spain. Although only some sections of the wall and remains of several towers remain today, the Alcazaba de Baza was once an almost impregnable fortress. Its walls present three construction phases: a first from the 11th-12th century, another Nasrid and a last, already Christian, from the 16th century. It is located in the heart of the Historic Center of the city, dominating the old medina. 🌿🏰
