The Alcazaba of Málaga is a historic palatial fortress built during the Muslim rule of Spain, dating back to the 11th century. Located on a hill in the center of Málaga, it offers stunning views of the city and the Mediterranean Sea. The fortress combines Roman, Moorish, and Renaissance architectural elements, reflecting its long and complex history. Its well-preserved walls, gardens, and courtyards make it a significant example of Moorish military architecture. The Alcazaba is also connected to the nearby Castillo de Gibralfaro by a steep path, forming a larger defensive complex.
