Alcazaba y Murallas del Cerro de San Cristóbal
Alcazaba y Murallas del Cerro de San Cristóbal, Medieval castle and museum in Almería, Spain
The Alcazaba stands atop a hill with three distinct sections, including defensive walls spanning 1,430 meters and multiple watchtowers overlooking the Mediterranean Sea.
Built in 955 by Caliph Abd al-Rahman III, this fortress protected the city until 1489 when it came under Christian control during the Reconquista.
The fortress contains Islamic architectural elements such as water cisterns, baths, and a mosque, alongside later Christian additions including the San Juan Chapel.
The fortress opens Tuesday through Saturday from 9:00 to 18:00 and Sunday from 9:00 to 15:00, with free admission for all visitors since 1994.
The structure served as a filming location for major productions including Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade and Game of Thrones television series.
