Teatro Romano
Nestled at the base of the Alcazaba fortress lies the Roman Theatre, an ancient archaeological marvel steeped in Malaga’s rich history. Dating back to the 1st century BC, it serves as a poignant reminder of the city’s Roman legacy.
The theatre boasts a classic Roman design, featuring a semicircular orchestra encircled by tiered seating skillfully carved into the hillside. With an estimated capacity of 2,000 spectators, it was once a vibrant hub for theatrical spectacles, musical concerts, and communal gatherings.
Alcazaba
The Alcazaba is a majestic fortress located on a hill in the center of Malaga. It served as a defensive structure and royal residence for various Muslim rulers of the region. Its strategic location overlooking the city and the Mediterranean Sea made it an essential stronghold during the period of Muslim rule in Spain.
Visitors can explore the intricate network of gardens, courtyards, and passageways within the fortress, each offering stunning views of the surrounding landscape and the city below.
