The Alcazaba is a palatial fortress built during the Muslim Al-Andalus period. Construction of the current complex began in the 11th century and was altered or rebuilt several times until the 14th century. It is one of the best-preserved alcazabas in Spain. The Alcazaba is also connected to the higher-lying Gibralfaro Castle by a walled corridor, and next to the Alcazaba entrance are the remains of a Roman theater dating back to the 1st century AD.

Opening hours: November 1 to March 31: 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. - last entry at 5:15 p.m. April 1 to October 31: 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. - last entry at 7:15 p.m. Bicycles must be parked and locked in advance; bicycles cannot be taken inside.

The Alcazaba of Malaga is an imposing 11th-century Moorish fortress that towers majestically over the city; with its graceful arches, opulent courtyards and winding pathways, it offers an enchanting blend of Islamic architecture and history, while its strategic position on Gibralfaro Hill not only served as a defence but now also offers breathtaking panoramic views over the glittering Mediterranean Sea and the bustling city below, making it an unmissable destination for anyone wanting to experience Malaga's rich cultural heritage.
