Alcazaba de Malaga

The Alcazaba is a remarkably intact Moorish palace fortress that rises straight from the heart of the old town. Its tiered gardens, horseshoe arches and trickling fountains echo the Alhambra on a smaller, more intimate scale. At its base lies a Roman theatre, stacking two thousand years of history into a single view. Go early to enjoy the cool of the morning before the crowds arrive.
