Two thousand years of Málaga’s history stand on one hillside. At its foot lies the Roman Theatre, rediscovered in the 20th century; above it rises the Alcazaba, the Moorish palace-fortress begun in the 11th century.
What you will see
- The Roman Theatre, where the tour starts, by the glass pyramid.
- The Alcazaba: gates, ramparts, Nasrid-style courtyards, fountains and gardens.
- Views over the port, the cathedral and the bay.
Why a guide?
The Alcazaba is a maze of walls and gates; a guide explains how it was defended and how its rulers lived. The tour is one of the most reviewed in Málaga.
Tips
- The site has slopes and steps and is not suitable for wheelchairs.
- Carry on up to Gibralfaro Castle for the best view of Málaga.
