The Alcazaba:
Built in the 11th century by the Hammudid dynasty, the Alcazaba is a magnificent fortress-palace that showcases the architectural brilliance of Moorish Spain. This well-preserved citadel, perched on a hill overlooking the city, was originally constructed to protect against pirate attacks. Wander through its beautifully landscaped gardens, intricate arches, and charming courtyards, and imagine the lives of the Muslim rulers who once called this place home. The Alcazaba offers breathtaking views of the city and the Mediterranean Sea, making it a perfect spot for photography and reflection.

The Roman Theatre:
Located at the foot of the Alcazaba, the Roman Theatre of Malaga dates back to the 1st century BC, during the reign of Emperor Augustus. It is one of the oldest remnants of Roman Hispania in Andalusia. Rediscovered in 1951, the theatre has been meticulously excavated and restored, revealing its grand stage, orchestra pit, and tiered seating. This ancient venue was used for public performances and gatherings, and today, it still serves as a cultural hub, hosting various events and performances throughout the year.
