Alcazaba, Alhambra of Granada, Spain
The Alhambra: Alcazaba (Fortress) - Granada, Spain
The Alcazaba (Fortress) lies directly across from the Charles V Palace and the way our tour was laid out, we visited it after touring Charles V, as well as The Nasrid Palaces and The Partal and Gardens area. This is also video #6 of 7 videos I created to showcase The Alhambra, which is a huge complex of several palaces, the fortress, the gardens and the summer residence that is further away (and was the last part of our tour)
As always, Ed does the video filming and narration, while I do the still photos, edit everything and upload it to You Tube.
A Walk Around The Alcazaba, The Alhambra, Granada, Spain,
It is obvious that the Alcazaba plainly served a military function. The entrance to the Alcazaba was at the foot of the Tower of Homage . At the base of the tower is a slight slope. A simple L-shaped walkway keeps the main gate from being seen from the outside.
The gate leads to an inner vaulted space with more turns that, at the end and before reaching the Place of Arms , opened up so that defenders could control all access and respond from above to an attack.
In this covered corridor there are two access points: one leading to the ground and underground floors of the Tower of Homage, and the other to the top of the wall and to the tower itself through a narrow and steep vaulted staircase.
This was not the only entrance to the Alcazaba, but probably the most important one since through it the royal guard patrolled the entire complex of the Alhambra. It also served to link it with the inner wall or the road that bordered the Alcazaba.
The area within the inner wall of the Alcazaba is what is known as the Place of Arms in medieval fortresses. It was devoted to military parades during peace time and to establish the defensive strategy when battles were to be fought. For this reason it is an open and clear space with very few constructions.
However, the Alcazaba of the Alhambra, as an enclosure integrated into a larger one, is a residential area for the royal guard of the Sultan who controlled and patrolled the palatial city, and was referred to as the Military District.
It is actually a small city, with an urban distribution similar to that of any district of a Hispanic-Muslim city. A narrow road traverses the enclosure, dividing it into two well differentiated areas.
To the north, walls and pavements are grouped following an irregular pattern with houses of different sizes but similar structures: the houses were tenanted by the royal guard that lived in the enclosure with their families.
On the other side, walls similar to those of the houses but were built following a more regular pattern, with larger open courtyards, with evidence of the presence of warehouses or halls for the soldiers and younger guards.

La Alcazaba - the Moorish palace of Malaga
The Alcazaba fortress and palace is one of two stone castles that dominate the skyline of the old city. It's hard to miss connecting as it does with the Castillo del Gibralfaro, the main Moorish stronghold higher up, forming a stone fortification that stretches over a kilometre up the steep hill. In old Malaga the sea lapped at the walls of these castles and they were ideally placed to defend the port and its mdina below. The Alcazaba is the Arab word for a fortified citadel, and this citadel held within it's strong walls an entire palace complex typical of the Nasrid dynasty, the high point of muslim culture in the kigdom of Al Andalus.
It has received extensive restoration as it was in fairly parlous condition by the 19th century, and it was due to such works that the remains of the extensive Roman theatre were uncovered beneath its walls. Indeed much of the stone for the palace was removed directly from the old Roman city it was built upon. The palace dates from nearly a 1000 years ago, but the current form, with its palace built around courtyards and patios dates from the Nasrid time around 1280. A visit to the Alcazaba gives you a vivid idea of the sophistication and power of the culture that dominated for over 700 years. The views are spectacular and the military significance of such a place is plain to see. It is open from 0900h to 2000 in summer months, but shuts at 1800h from November to March. Admission 2.20€ conc. 0,60€
