Almería, Coastal municipality in southeastern Andalusia, Spain

The city extends along the Mediterranean coast with the Alcazaba fortress standing on a hilltop overlooking white buildings and palm-lined streets.

Abd al-Rahman III established Almería in 955, transforming it into a major Mediterranean port for silk trading during the Islamic period.

The Cathedral of Almería combines Gothic and Renaissance architectural elements with fortified walls designed to protect against maritime attacks.

The local economy centers on greenhouse agriculture, with extensive fields producing vegetables and fruits for export throughout Europe.

The Tabernas Desert near Almería contains multiple film studios where numerous Western movies were filmed during the 1960s and 1970s.
