Malaga Fortress

The fortress of Malaga, built in the VIII century, is one of the most powerful defensive structures of the Moorish period.

It is a castle made in classical Arabic style. Its construction began the ruler of Granada - Badis ben Abus. The main part of the castle was built in the XI century. For its construction, columns and capitals of the destroyed theater, which was built in the II century, were used.

Surrounded by high walls, the castle consists of a labyrinth of courtyards decorated with fountains, palm trees and flowering trees. Once its walls were fortified by several hundred towers, most of which, unfortunately, have not survived. At present, there are two main walls surrounding the interior of the castle and several defensive towers.
