Una atalaya con vistas al Gran Azul

La alcazaba es un castillo situado en la falda del Castillo de Gibralfaro y cerca de otros monumentos históricos como el Teatro Romano. Es una construcción o recinto cuya función era servir de residencia a un gobernador ​para defenderlo a él y sus contornos. Conformaba un pequeño barrio militar con viviendas y servicios, constituyendo una ciudadela. Fue construida sobre una anterior fortificación de origen fenicio y púnico. Es un lugar muy bien cuidado y donde puedes hacerte una idea de la forma de vida de hace siglos. Se consideró un monumento 4 de junio de 1931.

The Alcazaba is one of the most important historic places in Malaga because it has so much history. Many well-known people, such as the Catholic Kings, have been there. It has walls, like a castle, that once they were used to protect Muslim people that were being attacked by the Catholic Kings army. Then, they took over the Alcazaba from the Muslim population and they lived inside. The  main characteristics are the three concentric walls that surround it. These walls helped to improve a high military security system. The Alcazaba is located below the Gibralfaro Castle and has a schedule for the visitors to go and visit it. Every day, it is visited by a lot of tourists.
