What you can expect

We'll explore the Alcazaba Monumental Complex. Its 1,000 years of history. We'll review its past and present through the different cultures that have made use of this magnificent monument.
We'll tour these three grounds, which consist of two Muslim areas and one Christian area. There, we'll review the history of each one, its construction, and the function of the buildings in the different historical periods.
We'll go into the cisterns, the Arab houses, and the troop baths. Also, since 2023, for the first time, we have access to the Keep. And on the other hand, access to the Wall of the Candle has been reopened, so we will have a fantastic panoramic view of the city and the Alcazaba Monumental Complex.
