The Alcazaba of Almeria is a Moorish fortress that overlooks the entire city of Almeria.
The Alcazaba was built under Caliph Abd ar-Rahman III in the 10th century. built on a 85 m high hill in the center of the city. Since the city was formally founded in 955, it has housed the residence of the city lords. During the Taifa period from 1012 to 1091, when the city was independent, it became the residence of sovereign princes who temporarily claimed the title of caliph. Al-Mutasim in particular made a name for himself as a builder from 1051 to 1091.
The Alcazaba was used by Muslim governors up until the 15th century. In 1522 the palace complex was destroyed by an earthquake and partially replaced by new buildings. In the course of these reconstruction measures, parts of the Alcazaba were shaped by Christian architecture and the mosque was converted into a chapel.

El Remador Fountain, Nicolás Salmerón Park

Highlight • Monument

One of a total of 5 fountains in the Nicolás Salmerón Park. In the fountain "Los Hombres del Mar", the monument to the Spanish Navy (El Remador), the paint on the inside of the vessel was replaced with a stoneware coating and natural stone was replaced with artificial stone. Cleaning and repairing cracks on the surface of the sculpture and replacing the lighting system are other measures that were initially carried out and were completed with the installation of the spotlights and the cleaning of the sculpture and the existing marble.

Alcazaba and San Cristóbal Hill

Highlight • Castle

Located on a secluded hill, Alcazaba Castle is one of the most important Andalusian monumental and archaeological sites on the Iberian Peninsula. Its almost thousand years of history have allowed to know the evolution of civil and military architecture during the Arab domination of Al-Andalus.
The wall of Cerro de San Cristóbal, more than three meters wide and five meters high, forms an enclosure around the Alcazaba. The whole maintains a direct link with the city of Almeria, absolutely unique both physically and visually, causing the visitor a force of extraordinary magnitude. The Alcazaba Castle and Cerro de San Cristóbal are inseparably linked to the modern city and to the sea.
