Spain's best-preserved Moorish palatial fortress, erected by the Hammudid dynasty in the 11th century along the slopes of Mount Gibralfaro above Malaga's Roman theatre. Protected by double fortified perimeter walls and defensive towers, its upper palace quarters feature delicate horseshoe arches, trickling fountain courtyards, and fragrant citrus gardens. Ramparts offer sweeping vistas of Malaga port and the Mediterranean.
