MALAGA - A VOYAGE IN TIME |
|
The ancient city of Malaga, faunded by the Phoenicians,
who named it Malaka, as is shown by the archaeological remains found
beneath the Picasso Museum, was later populated by various different
cultures, which also left their imprint. This legacy is mostly concentrated
around the oldest part of the city, where the Roman Theatre from the
1st century BC, and the Alcazaba are to be found.
THE
ALCAZABA AND THE CASTLE OF GIBRALFARO palace - fortress of
the Muslim governors, the Alcazaba was constructed mainly in the 11th
century, thanks to the efforts of Badis, the Ziri King of Granada.
Perched on a hill, it has two walle precincts. To the first, access
is gained via the Tower of El Cristo, which leads to the gardens of
the Parading Ground. The Palace, with its beautiful courtyards such
as Los Surtidores, Los Naranjos, and la Alberca, and a number of houses,
are inside the upper precinct, strongly guarded by the Gate of Puerta
de Los Cuartos de Granada and the Keep. A hill leads to the Castle
of Gibralfaro, also of Moorish origin and constructed in the 14th
century. Arabic texts mention a rabita or oratory which stood on its
summitand also talk of the great cemetery which was once located on
its base. Inside is an Interpretation Centre.
