On the traces of the ancient Iberian and Roman cultures, the Muslims built an extraordinary fortress in the tenth century, whose castle still watches over the city today. It is located 284 meters above sea level and occupies an area of approximately 25,500 square meters. The city-fortress comprised two spaces, on the one hand the walled medina or civilian city, with a first line of wall and the castle or political-military city. In the castle, for its part, two enclosures are differentiated: the first would be the albacar or square, second line of wall, in turn divided into two areas: the albacar or inner square at the top and the outside at the bottom. The second enclosure inside the fortress is the Alcazaba, the residence of the sultan's official or warden, located in the highest part of the castle, forming the third and last line of the wall. The interior itinerary has ramps with homogeneous pavement, of different slopes and lengths. Some sections are made of tramex. The itinerary to the Alcazaba can only be done by stairs. <span class="automatic-translation-warning">This text was automatically translated.</span>
