About
The Castle of Gibralfaro in Málaga, Spain, is a historic fortress perched on a hill overlooking the city and the Mediterranean Sea. Built in the early 14th century by Yusuf I of the Kingdom of Granada, it was designed to protect the nearby Alcazaba and provide a vantage point for military defense. The castle is named after a lighthouse (Jabal-Faruk) that once stood on the site. Visitors can explore its well-preserved ramparts, enjoy panoramic views of Málaga, and learn about its history through informative displays.
