The Alcazaba of Almería is a sprawling Moorish fortress dating back to the 10th century, making it one of the largest of its kind in Spain. Visitors can explore three distinct enclosures: the outer area for troops, the palatial inner compound with gardens and pools, and the later Christian castle. From the ramparts, panoramic vistas stretch over Almería's whitewashed rooftops to the sea. The site also houses an interpretation center detailing its history, while the surrounding park is a peaceful spot for a stroll.
