The Alcazaba of Almería is a formidable fortress located in the city of Almería, Spain. Constructed in the 10th century during the reign of Abd-ar-Rahman III, the fortress served both as a military stronghold and a royal residence. The Alcazaba features three concentric enclosures, each with distinct characteristics: the first includes gardens and the original Muslim residential quarters; the second houses the keep and additional residential areas; and the third, added during the Christian era, contains a castle built by the Catholic Monarchs.
