A fortress palace in the center of the city, who knew?

Aside from the Cathedral and the beaches, the Alcazaba is one of the most famous attractions in Málaga. One of the ISA planned visits was to visit Alcazaba, which is conveniently located on the outskirts of the center. I didn't even know what an "Alcazaba" was until I showed up for the visit today. Nobody told me that we would be seeing some of the most beautiful architecture and best views of the city and the sea. For those of you, who like me, do not know what the Alcazaba is; it is a fortress palace for the Muslim rulers of the city, built in the 11th century. It is also located next to the Roman theater that was just discovered 50 years ago and still being uncovered.
