Alcazaba

After the Alhambra in Granada; the Alcazaba of Almería is the largest defensive structure built by the Arabs in the peninsula Iberia (and the second of all Muslim buildings after the Alhambra Palace).
The Alcazaba was built on the ruins of an earlier fort, probably dating back to 840 at the top of the Cerro de la Alcazaba, which had been occupied in prehistoric times, possibly Bronze Age, as well as during Phoenician and Roman periods.
You enter the fortress through an Albarran tower and from there wall up a zigzagging ramp guarded by the Torre de los Espejos to the Torre de la Justicia, which has a strategically placed bend before you reach the entrance.
There are three walled enclosures.Lue lisää
