Alcazaba

Great experience and fair priced tickets. View from the top was lovely, nice cafe with a great view and the castle really well maintained. Would not recommend for people with mobility problems, due to lots of stairs.

Great castle, perhaps lacking real exhibits, but the historical reconstructions are done very well and give you a sense of what it was like before 1400. The castle is well maintained, especially the green areas. Highly recommended if you are in the area.

Alcazaba of Málaga made a much bigger impression than I expected. Beautiful gardens, great atmosphere and stunning views over the city. Walking through the complex is very pleasant and relaxing. Definitely worth visiting and taking your time to explore.

The Alcazaba is a beautiful and historic fortress with impressive walls and towers that show its rich Moorish history. The views from the top are stunning, especially over the city and surrounding landscape. It’s a great place to explore and a must-visit for anyone interested in history and architecture.

Alcazaba de Málaga is a truly impressive and beautiful historical site. The architecture, views over the city and the sea, and the overall atmosphere make it a must-visit place in Málaga. Walking through the fortress feels like stepping back in time, and there are many interesting spots to explore along the way. It is also a great place to visit with family. The paths are well organized, there is plenty of space to walk around, and children can enjoy discovering the different towers, walls, and viewpoints. It’s both educational and fun, without feeling rushed or overwhelming. Overall, it was an excellent experience, very well maintained, and definitely worth visiting. Highly recommended for couples, families, and anyone interested in history and culture.

The Alcazaba is absolutely beautiful and full of history. On Sundays from 14:00 the entrance is free. Just be aware that the line starts forming early for the free entrance. The good thing is that once it‘s time, people move in quickly, so the wait isn’t too long. It was definitely crowded, which made it a bit harder to fully enjoy the place, but the views and architecture are still stunning. If you take your time and wander a bit, you might get lucky and find a few quiet moments without the crowds. A great experience and absolutely worth visiting!

The views from this castle are amazing. Walking on the old walls all around the castle to see both the port, the nearby hills, the city of malaga, and the Bull ring, it is so good to see it all and take memorable pictures. Recommending even walking up the hill to the castle, great views of Malaga

One of the most beautiful places I’ve visited. The Alcazaba truly takes you into a different world and time, filled with history and charm. Walking through its walls, arches, and gardens gives you a deep understanding of the city’s heritage and culture. It’s a must-visit in Málaga,

The Alcazaba (which comes from al-Qasba, meaning urban fortress) is located at the foot of the hillside of Mount Gibralfaro, in the small bay that is home to the city of Malaga. Its strategic position led it to be inhabited by ancient civilisations such as the Phoenicians and the Romans where they built a theatre in the 1st century. During the Islamic period, the Alcazaba was initially built as a fortification, and later became a palace-fortress, and the seat of the city government. You can buy a ticket for the Alcazaba itself or a combo ticket for the Gibralfaro and the Alcazaba. Sundays are free from 2p-7pm

Very easy to get to since it's central in the downtown near the Picasso museum. I did not go to the top to see the Moorish fortress up close. From what I understand the views of the city and Sea from there amazing. A must see. So much history in Spain... the Visgoths, Romans, Arabs from Morrocco (Moors), the Spanish Catholics. Did I leave anyone else out? Go see it. Especially if you didn't see the Alhambra in Granada. Because it's similar in style, but NOT as grand.

We had seen a lot of fortresses and ruins on our trip but we were glad to have not passed up the Alcazaba. It is much more than just a fortress. The delicate stone carvings and water elements are reminiscent of the Alhambra. There are great spaces for photos, views over the city and an amazing history. We were also lucky to come on a Sunday when it was free (2-5).

A very nice tourist attraction located right in the middle of the city and an easy walk to get to. It's cool to see the Moorish influence on this part of Spain. The gardens and flowers were beautiful and the views were cool.

Following the clearly marked street signs we soon came by this ancient limestone Muslim palace/fortress. Because it's a Sunday there is no admission saving 3.55 euros pp. The hike up an uneven cobblestone incline was hard on the feet. We were exhausted by the time we reached about mid level of the Nazari palace rooms and decided to turn back, abandoning the plan to summit the Gibralfaro lookout. Thank God we have a panoramic view from our 13th floor room at the AC Palacio Hotel.

Must see if you visit Malaga. Start first by taking a quick look at the ruins of the Roman theatre in front of Alcazaba, then go inside and take a glimpse of what Moorish Spain looked like. As you go uphill, you'll also get amazing views of the city.

Lovely hike in what used to be some sort of Arabic palace. A nice hybrid of courtyard garden and maze-like walls. Great views of the entire city. I personally loved that you can spot the cathedral tower from so many points. The room space inside does not offer much for viewing but you will appreciate the courtyard layout and doorways. Bar up on the top is perfectly situated for a good breeze and amazing views with that rewarding drink.

Literally this is located in the mountain behind my flat. I'm very lucky to live at this location. I just have to walk up that mountain and checkout gorgeous views. If you come here Sundays. I think it's free. It was when we came. But even if you have to pay... it's only a few euros. I love this sport. My favourite part of Malaga and the best views! Be warned... if you go up in the rain... make sure you have good shoes. It can get slippery.

I'll be pretty brief. It's pretty god damn gorgeous! This place shows us how beautiful and the scenery of the south of spain is . Andalousia in particular!

An outstanding and marvellous place to spend half a day, both walking and being with friends, maybe eating on the top of the fortress! A really, really beautiful scenery down to the city.

This place was great. Very well preserved clean and organized. Great walking self-tour with lots of history and photo opportunities.

A beautiful and impressive Moorish fortress that dates back to the 700s! This is an unmissable part of Malaga, a must see! Incredible stone work, beautiful views of the city, lovely fountains and gardens. And at 2,20 euros a ticket it is a bargain. Student and senior admission was only 60 cents, amazing! My only warning: the cobbled walkways are very steep and uneven, be careful not to trip!

Completely worth the epic uphill walk. The pool and garden are gorgeous. The small stream running through a lot of the main house is really brilliant. You also get a great view of the marina.

Great fortress located in teh center of Malaga. The normal price is 2.10EUR but if you combine Alcazaba + Gibralfaro castle you get it all for 3.45EUR. Dont miss a visit to this emblematic place.

I was there 2 weeks ago. Be carefull in the rain, it gets slippery. Otherwise the walk before the experience of that little paradise is worth the whole experience. Recommended! Will be there in August as well
