Rábita Califal de las Dunas de Guardamar, Archaeological site in Guardamar del Segura, Spain.
The Rábita Califal complex contains 23 chambers and a mosque positioned along the Mediterranean coast, surrounded by extensive sand dunes.
Built during the 10th century Caliphate of Córdoba, this religious settlement served as a strategic maritime port until its abandonment in the 11th century.
The excavated cells reveal wall inscriptions and daily objects that demonstrate the religious practices and living conditions of Muslim monks.
Visitors can explore the archaeological remains freely and combine their visit with the Natural Park of Guardamar Dunes walking trails.
The discovery of an Arabic inscription stone in 1897 led to extensive excavations, making this the first documented ribat found in Spain.
