  • Cover photo description:
  • The Alcazaba Arabic: القصبة‎ is a palatial fortification in Málaga, Spain. It was built by the Hammudid dynasty in the early 11th century.[1] This is the best-preserved alcazaba from the Arabic al-qasbah, قصبة, meaning `citadel` in Spain. Adjacent to the entrance of the Alcazaba are remnants of a Roman theatre dating to the 1st century BC, which are undergoing restoration. Some of the Roman-era materials were reused in the Moorish construction of the Alcazaba. Ferdinand and Isabella captured Málaga from the Moors after the Siege of Málaga 1487, one of the longest sieges in the Reconquista, and raised their standard at the `Torre del Homenaje` in the inner citadel. According to architect restorer, Leopoldo Torres Balbás, the Alcazaba of Málaga is the prototype of military architecture in the Taifa period, with its double walls and massive entry fortifications. Its only parallel is the castle of Krak des Chevaliers in Syria
