Explore Almería's most important monument and the largest Arab citadel in Spain with a tour of the historic Alcazaba.

Itinerary

Meet your guide at the entrance of the Alcazaba of Almería, a 10th-century fortress expanded by the Catholic Monarchs. The tour begins at the Puerta del Viento, also known as the Gate of Justice. The first stop is in the gardens of the first enclosure, where an ingenious hydraulic system supplied water to the citadel. Ascending the garden steps leads us to the Muro de la Vela, or 'Wall of the Sail', which historically housed a bell for alerts to significant events.

Next, we enter the second enclosure to explore the Caliphal cisterns, followed by a visit to the troop baths, Arab houses, and the remains of the Muslim king's palace and administrative buildings.

Proceeding to the Christian castle, we will observe its well-preserved state. The descent includes a stop at the warden's house offering views of the Mediterranean, gardens of La Hoya, ancient city walls, the Castle of San Cristóbal, and the Sacred Heart of Jesus monument.

The tour concludes after approximately 1.5 to 2 hours at the castle.
