The Alcazaba is an Arabic fortress situated in the Spanish city and it´s one of the most visited monuments of the place, which dates from the 11th century, built during the domination of King Badi, one of the ziri governors of Granada.
The Alcazaba, which was used as a governor´s palace in the city at that time, is the best preserved in the whole of Spain and it finds itself next to the Roman Theatre that dates of the 2nd century.
The place is located on a hill of the city that has views to the port and was connected, originally, with the walls that were there to defend the place from a possible attack.
The fortress, which can be observed from the old town part of the city, is made out of 30 towers and 20 fully fortified doors. It was a true fortress developed with the best technology of the time.
