Malaga, on the Costa del Sol, is a vibrant port city with a 2,700-year history, offering beautiful palaces, churches, and buildings to explore.
Malaga’s Alcazaba, a 11th-century Moorish palace built under Berber king Badis-al-Ziri, is a must-visit and a prime example of Moorish palace in the world.
This is the proper defensive part of the citadel, built in the 14th century to garrison the troops protecting the Alcazaba under the foothill.
Built in the first century CE, it is considered among Europe’s oldest theaters. Erected under Roman Emperor Augustus, it was used as a theater until the third century AD.
This striking church is one of the tallest in the Andalusia region, and you will spot it from many angles around the city.
This lively market’s architecture is peculiar since it mixes the original Moorish style with modern cast iron elements.
