Alcazaba of Málaga

The Alcazaba of Málaga is one of Spain’s most impressive and important remains of Muslim architecture and design that can be visited today. While there are often exhibitions inside, the exterior of the palace with its gardens is worth a visit in and of itself. With its own Roman Amphitheater, this complex originally built as a citadel offers a unique look into Malaga’s Roman and Arab influenced past. Extensively restored since its creation between 1057 and 1063, the palace is a beautiful place to visit with its traditional horseshoe arches, wandering paths lined by citrus trees, flowing fountains and rich history to share with visitors today.
