The Alcazaba is an imposing 11th-century fortress situated on a hill in the center of Malaga.

From the walls of the fortress, visitors can enjoy sweeping views over Malaga, the sea and the surrounding area. The Alcazaba consists of an outer citadel with turrets and battlements, intended to defend the city. The inner citadel houses a Palace, which is built in the Moorish style. Due to the historic nature of the Alcazaba, it is not entirely wheelchair-accessible but people with disabilities can visit parts of the fortress. There is an elevator from Calle Guillen Sotelo street behind the City Hall which can carry people and wheelchairs up to the fortress, and this service is available from Tuesday to Sunday.
